find value and call another value - php arrays

Question

I have the below array coming though, ideally I am looking for a way of matching one value and printing out another value.

e.g.

if($randomvalue  == $cards[Card][unit_id]) { echo $cards[SaleDetail][date_pid_signed]; }

I'm not sure exactly how to go about getting the above to work with the current array structure as below.

Any ideas how I can get around this?

Thanks

$cards = Array
(
[0] => Array
    (
        [Card] => Array
            (
                [id] => 210
                [property_id] => 4
                [unit_id] => 90
            )

        [SaleDetail] => Array
            (
                [property_agent] => 
                [date_pid_signed] => 2012-06-15
                [property_date_listed] => 
            )

    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [Card] => Array
            (
                [id] => 209
                [property_id] => 4
                [unit_id] => 103
            )

        [SaleDetail] => Array
            (
                [property_agent] => 
                [date_pid_signed] => 2011-10-21
                [property_date_listed] => 
            )

    )

)

foreach($cards as $card){
    if($randomvalue  == $card[Card][unit_id]) { 
       echo $card[SaleDetail][date_pid_signed]; 
    }
}

Use $cards[0]['Card']['unit_id'] and $cards[0]['SaleDetail']['date_pid_signed']. Notice the indexes [0]. You can then use [1].

You might also want to check foreach or for loops!

Thanks however how do I do it for any of the arrays. i.e. the [0] goes up to 100 + (or more), above was just an example snippit. Ideally I need it to be something like $cards[$X]['Card']['unit_id']

if($randomvalue  == $cards[0][Card][unit_id]) { echo $cards[0][SaleDetail][date_pid_signed]; }

also you can do

foreach($cards as $card)
{
    if($randomvalue  == $card[Card][unit_id]) 
    { 
       echo $card[SaleDetail][date_pid_signed]; 
     }
}
