validating name and value in array

Question

I have an array that looks like this:

$team = array("tom"=>"35",
"beck"=>"18",
"Gerald"=>"15");

I also am parsing data from a loop which gives me the following strings $name and $num

I would like to build a php if statement that will do the following:

As an example, lets assume the following:

I have this so far:

if (in_array($num, $team)) {
// do something
}

What's missing is for it to check the second condition mentioned above.

Following the above example, it should fail, since the $num value is "25", whereas it is "35" in the array.

You can try to check the $name key with value of $num -

$team = array("tom"=>"35",
"beck"=>"18",
"Gerald"=>"15");

if(isset($team[$name]) && $team[$name] == $num) {
     // Your code
}

in_array will check for the value's existence in the array without considering the key.
