$my_array[] = array(\"id\"=&         


        

Answer 1

you can get your array column name by array_column method.Then find you want string by array_search its will return the index of array.

$index = array_search("othername",array_column($my_array,"name"));
var_dump($my_array[$index]["id"]);

Answer 2

Please use

$id = array_filter( 
        array_map(
            function($array) {
                if($array['name']== 'othername'){
                    return $array['id']; 
                }
            },$my_array
        )
    ); 
print "<pre>";print_r($id);
