I am successfully using the array_key_exists(), as described by php.net

Example:

<?php
$search_array = array('first' => 1, 'second' => 4);
if (array_key_exists('first', $search_array)) {
    echo "The 'first' element is in the array";
}
?>

But, take out the values, and it doesn't work.

<?php
$search_array = array('first', 'second');
if (array_key_exists('first', $search_array)) {
    echo "The 'first' element is in the array";
}
?>

Not sure how to only compare 2 arrays by their keys only.
