Question

I have an array where I want to search the uid and get the key of the array.

Examples

Assume we have the following 2-dimensional array:

<

Answer 1

Building off Jakub's excellent answer, here is a more generalized search that will allow the key to specified (not just for uid):

function searcharray($value, $key, $array) {
   foreach ($array as $k => $val) {
       if ($val[$key] == $value) {
           return $k;
       }
   }
   return null;
}

Usage: $results = searcharray('searchvalue', searchkey, $array);
