Search array and return all keys and values when match found

Question

I like to perform a search on an array and return all values when a match is found. The key [name] in the array is what I am doing a search on.

I would like to offer an optional change to scibuff's answer(which was excellent). If you are not looking for an exact match, but a string inside the array...

function array_search_x( $array, $name ){
    foreach( $array as $item ){
        if ( is_array( $item ) && isset( $item['name'] )){
            if (strpos($item['name'], $name) !== false) { // changed this line
                return $item;
            }
        }
    }
    return FALSE; // or whatever else you'd like
}

Call this with...

$pc_ct = array_search_x($your_array_name, 'your_string_here');
