Search Multidimensional Array in PHP

Question

How can I search the following multidimensional array for the string \'uk\'?

array(43)
{
  [0]=> array(1) { [\"country\"]=> string(9) \"Australia\" }
          


        

Answer 1

If you are using (PHP 5 >= 5.5.0) there is a better and simple way:

if(array_search('UK', array_column($array, 'country')) !== false ){
    echo 'found';
}else{
    echo 'Not found';
}
