From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.array-search

$arr = [
	'photos' => 1,
	'floorplan' => 2,
	'3dfloorplan' => 3,
	'video' => 4,
	'currentstatus' => 5,
	'rooms' => 6,
	'locationmap' => 7,
	1 => 'photos',
	2 => 'floorplan',
	3 => '3dfloorplan',
	4 => 'video',
	5 => 'currentstatus',
	6 => 'rooms',
	7 => 'locationmap',
	8 => 'brochure',
];
$res = array_search('3dfloorplan',$arr);
//$res is
// '3dfloorplan
//but my expectation is 3
