Description:
------------
Running PHP version 5.5.15 on XAMPP for Windows. This is latest version of XAMPP/PHP as of today's date.

Only changes to default php.ini that I have made are about Mail and XDebug for debugging with Komodo IDE.

Test script:
---------------
$arr = array('uuu', 'abc','aBC','ABC','abc', 'Def', 'DEF', 'xyz');

//set 3rd argument as $strict=false for case-insensitive
$k = array_keys($arr,'abc',false);

print_r($k);

Expected result:
----------------
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 ) 

Actual result:
--------------
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 4 )

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

$strict has nothing to do with case sensitivity.

Thank you for your reply. I now see that this is not a bug. In your reply you shared some useful information: "$strict has nothing to do with case sensitivity". Though the php docs need to be concise, it would be useful/helpful to add a short statement like that on all "strict" arguments for all functions with a link to learn more about exactly what "strict comparisons" mean and how it does not mean consideration of case-sensitivity.
