$array_subjected_to_search =array( array( 'name' => 'flash', 'type' => 'hero' ), array( 'name' => 'zoom', 'type' => 'villian' ), array( 'name' => 'snart', 'type' => 'antihero' ), array( 'name' => 'flash', 'type' => 'camera' ) ); $key = array_search('flash', array_column($array_subjected_to_search, 'name')); var_dump($array_subjected_to_search[$key]);
This works fine, but is there a way to search using multiple values: eg. get key where name='flash' && type='camera'
?

Answer

Simply with array_keys
function:
$result_key = array_keys($array_subjected_to_search, [ 'type' => 'camera','name' => 'flash']); print_r($result_key);
The output:
Array ( [0] => 3 )
