array_keys($boolword) = Array ( [0] => 'album' [1] => 'keywords' [2]
=> 'persons' [3] => 'events' [4] => 'image_alt' [5] =>
'image_creation_start_date' [6] => 'image_creation_end_date' [7] =>
'image_location_city' [8] => 'image_location_state' [9] =>
'image_location_country' )

Here is my array. Plain and simple enumerative array with values
being strings.

So why does this fail???

[PHP]
print_r(in_array('album', array_keys($boolword)));
[/PHP]

This produces FALSE or NULL. But it's right there IN the array!! What
on earth is going on? Is this a failure in the part of in_array() that
I am unaware of?

This is a major showstopper in my search code PHP script I'm writing
for my application, please help someone!

Thanx
Phil
