Return value when searching for key in array PHP

Question

I tried to get an answer for this in other posts with no luck, hope someone can help me here, i have a multidimensional array:

Array ( 
    [0] => stdClass Object ( 
        [affectsVersions] => Array ( ) 
        [assignee] => hmontes 
        [attachmentNames] => Array ( ) 
        [components] => Array ( ) 
        [created] => 2012-08-15T05:31:26.000Z
        [customFieldValues] => Array ( 
            [0] => stdClass Object ( 
                [customfieldId] => customfield_10201
                [key] => [values] => Array ( 
                    [0] => 123456
                )
            )
            [1] => stdClass Object ( 
                [customfieldId] => customfield_10004
                [key] => [values] => Array ( 
                    [0] => 30
                )
            )
        )
        [description] => [duedate] => [environment] => [fixVersions] => Array ( )
        [id] => 10228
        [key] => NTP-29
        [priority] => 3
        [project] => NTP
        [reporter] => hmontes
        [resolution] => [status] => 1
        [summary] => case 123456
        [type] => 3
        [updated] => 2012-08-15T05:31:26.000Z
        [votes] => 0
    )
)

this is what i get when i do a print_r with the array variable, i need to search and get the value from [key] that would be in this case NTP-29 and keep it in a variable as string.

What do you mean search and get the value from key? Do you know the key or are you trying to get the key by searching for the value? — Jared Drake

You can get the value of an array by the key using $array['keyName'];

But, for you it looks like you just need to go deeper $array[0]['key'];

It will work. The toplevel array has only a single numerically indexed element.

Both arrays values and properties of objects can be accessed using associative array syntax. To get the value of the key property in your object within the array you'd do the following, assuming $array is a variable containing a reference to your array:

$key = $array[0]['key']; // accesses NTP-29 in this case.

Here's another way to access the same property, using object property-access syntax:

$key = $array[0]->key; // also accesses NTP-29.
