Can you match them? Yes. Just check which key isset and then check that value. But what do you want to do after matching? Because you didn't say. — Jonathan Kuhn, Apr 28 '15 at 16:58

$match = [];

foreach ($array1 as $k1=>$a1){
      foreach($array2 as $k2=>$a2){
                 if($a2['Seltemgr'] == $a1['Name']){
                         $match[] = array($k1,$k2);
                 }
       }
}

So $match contains the index of each array where the Name and Seltemgr match. Not saying this is the optimal way to do this but The intersect functions often require keys to match up.
