php multidimensional array search

Question

this is the array, how to get the Key of id "573"

Array (
    [0] => Array ( 
        [0] => stdClass Object ( [id] => 577 [name] => BPO Manager  ) 
        [1] => stdClass Object ( [id] => 578 [name] => BPO User  ) 
        [2] => stdClass Object ( [id] => 575 [name] => user2 ) 
        [3] => stdClass Object ( [id] => 573 [name] => Site Admin  ) 
    ) 
);

Getting it is trivial so what exactly is the problem? Please be more specific. — Sverri M. Olsen, Sep 16 '13 at 08:11

You can get it like:

$array[0][3]->id;

Question is not about accessing `id`. – u_mulder Sep 16 '13 at 08:09
You may be right, but the question body is: `this is the array, how to get the Key of id "573"` – Jason OOO Sep 16 '13 at 08:11
This is a perfect answer. The problem is not with the answer, it is with OP's phrasing of the question. – Sverri M. Olsen Sep 16 '13 at 08:12

Key of `id 573` is **3**. In your answer we already know that key is **3**. – u_mulder Sep 16 '13 at 08:13
if ($array[0][3]->id == 573) { return $array[0][3]->name; } – rams0610 Sep 16 '13 at 08:17
this array is a dynamically generated array! – Praveen Kumar Sep 16 '13 at 08:30

$key=573;
var_dump(search($arr,573));

function search($yourArray,$key)
{
    foreach($yourArray[0] as $object)
    {
     if ($object->key==$key)
        {
          return $object->id;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Those are objects, not arrays – Hanky Panky Sep 16 '13 at 08:10

try this

foreach ($arr as $key => $arr1) {
       foreach ($arr1 as $key1 => $obj) {
           if ($obj->id == '573') {
             return $obj->name;
           }
       }
    }
