PHP - Get specific data from an array

Question

I have an array which looks like the following

array:7 [▼
  0 => array:7 [▼
    "id" => "62"
    "name" => "creativeOption"
    "label" => "Other"
    "value" => "dfsdfsdfsdf"
    "someId" => "14"
  ]
  1 => array:7 [▼
    "id" => "60"
    "name" => "creativeOption"
    "label" => "checkboxSelection"
    "value" => "AnimSomething"
    "someId" => "14"
  ]
  2 => array:7 [▼
    "id" => "61"
    "name" => "creativeOption"
    "label" => "checkboxSelection"
    "value" => "Something"
    "someId" => "14"
  ]
  3 => array:7 [▼
    "id" => "59"
    "name" => "creativeNumber"
    "label" => "Something"
    "value" => ""
    "someId" => "14"
  ]
  4 => array:7 [▼
    "id" => "57"
    "name" => "creativeNumber"
    "label" => "Something"
    "value" => "Something 2 Info"
    "someId" => "14"
  ]
]

I am interested in getting the value where the name is creativeOption. At the moment, I have this

foreach ($array as $data) {
    foreach($data as $key => $value) {
        if($value == 'creativeOption') {

        }
    }
}

So that allows me to find all the creativeOption, but how would I then go about getting their value?

@Mr.Engineer Maybe he's refering value to "value" => "blabla" — Kheshav Sewnundun

Just change your query a little

foreach ($array as $data) {
    if($data['name'] == 'creativeOption') {
        echo $data['value'];
    }
}

You could try array_filter:

$array = [
  0 =>  [
    "id" => "62",
    "name" => "creativeOption",
    "label" => "Other",
    "value" => "dfsdfsdfsdf",
    "someId" => "14"
  ],
  1 =>  [
    "id" => "60",
    "name" => "creativeOption",
    "label" => "checkboxSelection",
    "value" => "AnimSomething",
    "someId" => "14"
  ],
  2 =>  [
    "id" => "59",
    "name" => "creativeNumber",
    "label" => "Something",
    "value" => "",
    "someId" => "14"
  ],
];

print_r(array_filter($array, function($v, $k){ 
    return($v['name'] === 'creativeOption');
}));

Does that help? Just tested and updated my answer. Have fun.

foreach ($arrays as $array) {
    foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
        if($key=='name' && $value=='creativeOption'){
            echo $array['value'];
            echo '<br>';
        }
    }
}

try this code.

foreach ($array as $data) {
        foreach($data as $key => $value) {
            if($value == 'creativeOption') {
                echo $key['value'];
            }
        }
    }

Did you even try this? Just no, it won't work. Check @HalayemAnis answer for the correct way to do this, but even then you don't need the second foreach.
