Isn't that what array_search already does on numerically-indexed arrays?

Or do you want the index of the key for the element, in the array of keys for
the array? In which case it sounds like two array_search() calls:

<?php
$a = array(
'fish' => 'fingers',
'dog' => 'hot dog',
'cow' => 'steak',
);

print array_search(array_search('hot dog', $a), array_keys($a));
?>

Output: 1
