Further on the actual problem, it seems that if a key value is repeated,
then array_search will only return that key if the value found is the last
one in the list with the same keys. So for your example, it'll work for
'plan3' but not for 'plan2'. Likewise, is the keys for Spiritual Gifts were
both 'Spiritual Gifts' then it would work for 'gifts3' but not for 'gifts2'.
Why not make use of the associative properties of the array and swap all the
keys and values thus:
$allpages = array (
'home' => 'Home Page',
'purpose' => 'Purpose',
'spiritgifts' => 'Spiritual Gifts',
'potential' => 'Reaching Potential',
'weightloss' => 'Weight Loss',
'contactme' => 'Contact Me',
'gifts2' => 'Spiritual Gifts2',
'gifts3' => 'Spiritual Gifts3',
'links' => 'Links',
'plan1' => 'The Plan',
'plan2' => 'The Plan',
'plan3' => 'The Plan'
);
$thispage=$_GET['page'];
if (!$title = $allpages[$thispage])
{
$title = $allpages[$thispage = 'home'];
}
