PHP Object with array of objects finding key/value and linking it with another key/value pair

Question

PROGRESS: Almost there... Need help on the last bit!!!

$users = $client->getAccounts();


$num = count($users);
for ( $x=0; $x < $num; $x++){
    foreach($users[$x] as $y => $y_value) {
        if($y_value == iLy){
            print_r($y);
            echo '<br>';
            print_r($x);
            echo '<br>';
            print_r($user[$x]["id"]);
        }
    }
}

Above is the latest bit of code I have written and I have been to locate the array value or the array I am looking for by search by name. print_r($user[$x]["id"]); Results in:

Warning: Illegal string offset 'id' in /home/examplesite/BLANK.com/CBapi.php on line 37

I used this simplification to discover the logic for my solution: This works

<?php
$age = array (array("name"=>"iLy", "id"=>"37", "balance"=>"43"),
              array("name"=>"jim", "id"=>"67", "balance"=>"47"));

echo $age[0]['id'];

$num = count($age);
for ( $x=0; $x < $num; $x++){
    foreach($age[$x] as $y => $y_value) {
        if($y_value == 43){
            print_r($y);
            echo '<br>';
            print_r($x);
            echo '<br>';
            print_r($age[$x]["id"]);

        }
    }
}
?>

I believe I am just calling the wrong Key Name.

Current code:

$configuration = Configuration::apiKey($apiKey, $apiSecret);
$configuration->setApiUrl(Configuration::SANDBOX_API_URL); 
$client = Client::create($configuration);

$users = $client->getAccounts();

I have been struggling with this for four days now... I used function below and it returns an object which contains an array of objects. My goal is to search through the collection of objects for a key and value, (For example to search the name of a current user:$currentuser = 'iLy'; $user = $currentuser; Then I could identify the array value, which would be $users[2] for our example 'iLy' to search the key value 'id', to get the $accountId.

Ideally I could search 'name' => iLy and have it return the 'id' => 'xxxxxxx' in that same array.

When I create accounts this is the only way I have been able to figure out how to get the accountID, and I haven't found any other API calls to get the account by name. I have only been able to isolate one object using $users[2]. I know this may be a repeat post, but I haven't been able to make any of the other solutions work. PHP - find entry by object property from a array of objects , Array of PHP Objects

Maybe I am using the wrong solutions or applying them wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

public function getAccounts(array $params = [])
{
    return $this->getAndMapCollection('/v2/accounts',$params,'toAccounts');                           
}

Returns this:

This was my answer and it isn't pretty. It turns out I had to make some of the variables public in the API resource file, which I'm not sure if that was a good idea, but it achieved my goal using this code:

$users = $client->getAccounts();

$num = count($users);

for ( $x=0; $x < $num; $x++){
    foreach($users[$x] as $y => $y_value) {
        if($y_value == iLy) {
            $bae = $users[$x];
            $account_id = '';
            foreach ($bae as $k => $k_value) {
                $account_id = $k_value;
            }           
        }
    }
}

It seems as though all my arrays were objects and the only way I could obtain the values I needed was by using foreach loops.
