PHP
Output:
array array_keys($input_array, $search_value, $strict)Parameters: The function takes three parameters out of which one is mandatory and other two are optional.
- $input_array (mandatory): Refers to the array that we want to operate on.
- $search_value (optional): Refers to the value of the array by which we want to search the array for the key elements. If this parameter is passed then the function will return keys corresponding to this element only otherwise it will return all keys of the array.
- $strict (optional): Determines if strict comparison (===) should be used during the search. false is the default value.
