Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.array-search#refsect1-
function.array-search-returnvalues
---

As of PHP 5.3, array_search() does again return NULL if $haystack is not an 
array. This was reported as an bug in bug #49657 but marked invalid because this 
change apparently was intentional.

The documentation needs to be updated, especially since it claims in the 
changelog that

> 4.2.0	
> Prior to PHP 4.2.0, array_search() returns NULL on failure instead of FALSE.

Log: Fix doc bug #62471 (Documentation for array_search misses 5.3 changes).

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

In general, we're not adding changelog entries for the parameter handling rationalisations in PHP 5.3.0, but given the earlier changelog entry, I've added one clarifying the situation here.
