获取数组1的值，指定array1的值内的数组值[duplicate]

I think that from the title it's not entirely clear, but this is the situation:

I have an array like this one (it's bigger, this is just an example):

$array = array(
    array('name' => 'John', 'age' => '29', 'from' => 'Uknown'),
    array('name' => 'Brad', 'age' => '27', 'from' => 'Idk'),
    array('name' => 'Phil', 'age' => '31', 'from' => 'My House')
);

I'm trying to find a fast-way using native functions of PHP (without using loops or other things) that specifing the name of this array inside another array, it gives me back the info related to this name.

Example:

If I specific Brad it gives me back an array with:

array('name' => 'Brad', 'age' => '27', 'from' => 'Idk')

</div>

This is my approach

$key = array_search('Brad', array_column($array, 'name'));

print_r($array[$key]);

For reference
PHP docs : array-search
PHP docs : array-column

There's no such functions. The only option you have is to rebuild your array as:

$array = array(
    'John' => array('name' => 'John', 'age' => '29', 'from' => 'Uknown'),
    'Brad' => array('name' => 'Brad', 'age' => '27', 'from' => 'Idk'),
    'Phil' => array('name' => 'Phil', 'age' => '31', 'from' => 'My House')
);

And use simple isset:

if (isset($array['Brad'])) {
    print_r($array['Brad']);
} else {
    echo 'Brad not found';
}

And of course if name values repeat in your array, you have to create more unique keys.

Suppose your don't have duplicate item and duplicate name.

$names = array_column($array, 'name');
$indexs = array_flip($names);
print_r($array[$indexs['Brad']]);
