Question

I’m trying to check if the of an id is available inside this array of std objects, i do not want to loop through the array as it will not display the correct information. My code is as follows:

  Array(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [name] => My Name
            [id] => 1234567890
        )
    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [name] => Other User Name
            [id] => 987654321
        )
  )

I tried using in_array method and it doesnt find the id key and value.

Thank you

You’ll need to loop the array to perform a check on an attribute of the objects inside the array. Write a function that will return your desired value like (pseudo-code):

function returnObjectForId($idToMatch){
    foreach ($array as $i => $object) {
        if($object->id == $idToMatch){
            return $object
        }
    }
}
