Get the index value of an array in PHP

Question

I have an array:

$list = array(\'string1\', \'string2\', \'string3\');

I want to get the index for a given value (i.e. 1 for <

You'll have to create a function for this. I don't think there is any built-in function for that purpose. All PHP arrays are associative by default. So, if you are unsure about their keys, here is the code:

 'boring',
'Friday' => 'yay',
'boring',
'Sunday' => 'fun',
7 => 'boring',
'Saturday' => 'yay fun',
'Wednesday' => 'boring',
'my life' => 'boring');

$repeating_value = "boring";

function array_value_positions($array, $value){
    $index = 0;
    $value_array = array();
        foreach($array as $v){
            if($value == $v){
                $value_array[$index] = $value;
            }
        $index++;
        }
    return $value_array;
}

$value_array = array_value_positions($given_array, $repeating_value);

$result = "The value '$value_array[0]' was found at these indices in the given array: ";

$key_string = implode(', ',array_keys($value_array));

echo $result . $key_string . "\n";//Output: The value 'boring' was found at these indices in the given array: 0, 2, 4, 6, 7
