Description:
------------
in_array() returns true if needle exists as key with int(0) as value, but should return false because needle doesn't exist as value.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump( in_array('a', array('a' => 1) ) );
var_dump( in_array('a', array('a' => 0) ) );
?>

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)
bool(false)


Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
bool(true)

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This result is expected.

In "a" == 0, "a" is converted to int. For strict comparison, use the third parameter.
