You need to loop them over..

<?php
$arr=array("ATA Report of 7th Apr 2014", "ATA Report of 17th Apr 2014", "ATA Report of 27th Apr 2014");
foreach($arr as $k=>$v)
{
    if(strpos($v,"7th Apr 2014") !== false)
    {
        echo "The position is $k";
        break;
    }
}

Also, the strpos() you are using it in a wrong way... the haystack should come first , followed by the needle.
