Question

I am using the PDO Api, and using the fetchAll() returns a Multiple Dimensional Array; This snippet below is just a test scenario; I just want to know if it’s possible.

$LeUsername = "BravoSlayer"; 
$sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM users WHERE Username='$LeUsername'");
$sth->execute();
$result = $sth->fetchAll();
print_r($result);
$ArraySearch = search_array($result, $LeUsername); 

Output is as below:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [ID] => 1 [0] => 1 [Username] => bravoslayer [1] => bravoslayer [Password] => thisisatest [2] => thisisatest ) ) 

I want to search through the multi-dimensional array to return the key. IN this case it will be 0 so I can just associate another variable variable for $Array1 = $Array1[‘0’] so from then I can do:

$Username = $Array1['Username'];

Judging by your question. You could search the primary array within a foreach loop and use in_array to return the correct array.

Use this as your reference.

function Search_Array($Array, $SearchDilema)
    {
        foreach ($Array AS $CheckKeys)
        {
            if (in_array($SearchDilema, $CheckKeys))
            {
                return $CheckKeys;
            }
            else
            {
                $ErrorMsg = "No Results Found! Check Your Search Dilema"; 
                return $ErrorMsg;
            }
        }

    }
