For example a multidimensional array like an example below
$arr = array(
[H1] => array(
"name" => "A"
"title" => "T1"
)
[H2] => array(
"name" => "B"
"title" => "B1"
)
)
Let's say I would like to search name which equals to A in $arr and if it's matched, the searching should return the key which is H1
How can I do that in php ?
I tried array_keys($arr, "A") but it returns me with an array instead of the key.
This may help -
$arr = array(
'H1' => array(
"name" => "A",
"title" => "T1",
),
'H2' => array(
"name" => "B",
"title" => "B1",
)
);
// Generate a new array with 'keys' and values in 'name'
$new = array_combine(array_keys($arr), array_column($arr, 'name'));
// Search in that new array
$search = array_search('A', $new);
var_dump($search);
Output
string(2) "H1"
Another simple way would be -
$serach= false;
foreach($arr as $key => $val) {
if($val['name'] == 'A') {
$search= $key;
break;
}
}
var_dump($search);
