PHP Search Multidimensional Array for Specific Value

Question

I have the following array in PHP:

What I'd like to do is to bring back the value of:

[size:PhpOffice\PhpWord\Style\Font:private]

to a variable (in this case 20).

I tried to do the following:

foreach($array as $array2){
    if(isset($array2->size)){
        echo $array2->size;
    }
}

But, it didn't work.

How do I solve this problem?

check this it may help you https://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.array-key-exists.php — A.Marwan, Apr 24 '19 at 15:22
It looks as though it's an object rather than an array and `:private` means you will have to find a method to access it (or hack the object). — Nigel Ren, Apr 24 '19 at 15:26

It seems from your snippet that the `size` field you want to access is inside `fontStyle`, so wouldn't you have to access it as `$array->fontStyle->size` instead? — slashCoder, Apr 24 '19 at 16:43

foreach ($array as $array2) {
    // access fontStyle via getter
    $fontStyle = $array2->getFontStyle();
    // access private property via getter
    echo $fontStyle->getSize();
}

Other getters for PhpOffice\PhpWord\Style\Font object you can find in https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPWord/blob/develop/src/PhpWord/Style/Font.php (yes, sometimes you have to look at source code of a library you're using).
