Description:
------------
In the string and array functions the $needle and $haystack parameter doesn't have the same order.

From the documentation:
int stripos ( string $haystack , string $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] )
mixed array_search ( mixed $needle , array $haystack [, bool $strict ] )


This is a very confusing inconsistence for me, since I program now PHP for several years, I cannot accustom on this.

And I'm sure not the only one -> maybe a change for the next version 5.4 or 6.0?

Best regards
Martin

I've literally never heard of anyone complaining about this before.

literally everybody using php complains many years about such inconsistencies and similar exists in database functions but sadly change it would be painful now because of a terrible BC break for existing code
