php foreach in an array get another field's value

Question

I have this array of std class object:

$myarray = 
    Array
    (
        [0] => stdClass Object
            (
                [text] => lorem lorem
                [src] => web
            )

        [1] => stdClass Object
            (
                [text] => ipsum ipsum
                [src] => book
            )
    )

and I have a $value = "lorem lorem", that I want to look up in the array and return the src of that object.

here is my attempt:

foreach($myarray -> 'text' as $key => $text_value){
    if($value == $text_value){
          $new_src = $myarray -> 'src';
    }
}

$myarray -> 'text' ??

You're almost there, you need to loop through the array and then check the object's text attribute:

foreach ($myarray as $object) {
    if ($object->text == $text_value){
          $new_src = $object->src;
    }
}

This will iterate the array items and grab each StdClass object, you can then use that object to compare text against $text_value and update the $new_src if it matches.

You can filter the by $item->text == $value

$value = "lorem lorem"
$array = array_filter($myarray, function($v) use($value) {
  return $v->text == $value;
});
$srcs = array_map(function($v){return $v->src;}, $array);
print_r($srcs);

I think this will helpful, I have slightly changed the #1 answer

$src = getSrc($myarray, $value);

function getSrc($objArray, $text) {
    foreach($objArray as $obj){
        if ($obj->text == $value)
            return $obj->src;
    }
    return false;
}
