Question

I have a multidimensional php array like this

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [size] => M
            [colour] => black
            [quantity] => 10
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [size] => S
            [colour] => blue
            [quantity] => 10
        )

)

and i have another array like this

Array
(
    [size] => M
    [colour] => black
)

How do i transverse to first array to find the array that matches the second one?.
Am totally clueless on how to go about this. Thanks

Answer 1

Consider first array is “mainarray” and second one is “comparearray”

$result = array();
    foreach($mainarray as $marray)
    {
      if($marray['size'] == $comparearray['size'] && $marray['colour'] == $comparearray['colour'])
    {
       $result = $marray;
    //echo "match found";
    }
    }

note: if compare array is single array it is applicable. if that also multidimension array you should put foreach for that array also.
