Quick way to get the value from array with another array giving condiition

Lets say there is an array $filter_from_array_id = array(2,8,52,45,7)

And then there is another array

$main_array = array([0] => array(id=> 8,name => 'data-ryhryh'),[1] => array(id=> 7,name => 'data-ththt'),[2] => array(id=> 66,name => 'data-kukuk'),[3] => array(id=> 85,name => 'data-gegegeg')

I want a result something like these array([0] => array(id=> 8,name => 'data-ryhryh'),

You see the point, id is filtered.

I will get the result through looping but if the main array is larger then it can consume time , I wonder if there is a short way than looping through all.

I would also want to know if php has something inbuilt for this one or anything close.

Answer

Create an associative array from $main_array so you don’t have to loop to find the IDs.

$main_assoc = array_combine(array_column($main_array, 'id'), $main_array);
$result = [];
foreach ($filter_from_array_id as $id) {
    if (isset($main_assoc[$id])) {
        $result[] = $main_assoc[$id];
    }
}
