Bug description:  a recursive function doesn't return an expected string

Description:
------------
The recursive function looks in an array for a certain text. When it finds
it, it returns the text. The problem is that it never returns it (but if I
put a print statement instead of a return, it will print it).

Reproduce code:
---------------
$arr = array('0'=>array('0'=>'zero-zero','1'=>'zero-un'),
'1'=>array('0'=>'un-zero','1'=>'un-un'));

print search_array('zero-un', $arr);

function search_array ($page, $item) {
 if (is_array($item)) {
  foreach ($item as $k => $v) {
   if (is_array($v)) {
    search_array($page, $v);
   }
   elseif ($v == $page) {
    return $v;
   }
  }
 } else {
  return "Not an array!";
 }
}

Expected result:
----------------
zero-un

Actual result:
--------------
Nothing!
