Check if associative array contains value, and retrieve key / position in array
Try something like this
$foo = array( array('value' => 5680, 'text' => 'Red'), array('value' => 7899, 'text' => 'Green'), array('value' => 9968, 'text' => 'Blue'), array('value' => 4038, 'text' => 'Yellow'),);$found = current(array_filter($foo, function($item) { return isset($item['value']) && 7899 == $item['value'];}));print_r($found);
Which outputs
Array( [value] => 7899 [text] => Green)
The key here is array_filter
. If the search value 7899
is not static then you could bring it in to the closure with something like function($item) use($searchValue)
. Note that array_filter
is returning an array of elements which is why I pass it through current
For PHP >= 5.5.0 it is easier with array_column
:
echo array_column($foo, 'text', 'value')[7899];
Or to be repeatable without using array_column
each time:
$bar = array_column($foo, 'text', 'value');echo isset($bar[7899]) ? $bar[7899] : 'NOT FOUND!';
Taking a guess at what you would like here:
function findTextByValueInArray($fooArray, $searchValue){ foreach ($fooArray as $bar ) { if ($bar['value'] == $searchValue) { return $bar['text']; } }}
