Check if associative array contains value, and retrieve key / position in array

Question

I\'m struggling to explain what I want to do here so apologies if I confuse you.. I\'m just as confused myself

I have an array like so:

$foo

Taking a guess at what you would like here:

function findTextByValueInArray($fooArray, $searchValue){
    foreach ($fooArray as $bar )
    {
        if ($bar['value'] == $searchValue) {
            return $bar['text'];
        }
    }
}
