Description:
------------
It would be greate for the method description to read:
"bool array_key_exists ( mixed $needle , array $haystack )"
instead of
"bool array_key_exists ( mixed $key , array $search )"

Similar to:
"string strstr ( string $haystack , mixed $needle [, bool $before_needle = false 
] )"
"mixed array_search ( mixed $needle , array $haystack [, bool $strict = false ] 
)"
"string strrchr ( string $haystack , mixed $needle )"

Thanks!

Its quite intentionally not $needle $haystack, as that implies searching in its 
values. The function checks if a key exists - the whole name, not a subset of it 
the string or anything along those lines.
