If a search_value is specified, then only the keys for that value are returned. Otherwise, all the keys from the array are returned.

Parameters

Examples

Example #1 array_keys() example

<?php $array = array(0 => 100, "color" => "red"); print_r(array_keys($array));$array = array("blue", "red", "green", "blue", "blue"); print_r(array_keys($array, "blue"));$array = array("color" => array("blue", "red", "green"), "size" => array("small", "medium", "large")); print_r(array_keys($array)); ?>

The above example will output:

Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => color ) Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => 3 [2] => 4 ) Array ( [0] => color [1] => size )
