using array_search for multi dimensional array

by

In php 5.5.5 & later versions,
you can try this

$array_subjected_to_search =array(
array(
        'name' => 'flash',
        'type' => 'hero'
    ),

array(
        'name' => 'zoom',
        'type' => 'villian'
    ),

array(
        'name' => 'snart',
        'type' => 'antihero'
    )
);
$key = array_search('snart', array_column($array_subjected_to_search, 'name'));
var_dump($array_subjected_to_search[$key]);

Output: 

array(2) { ["name"]=> string(5) "snart" ["type"]=> string(8) "antihero" }
