How to search multiple items in a multidimentional array ?

[mohan lal]

Hi All,

I have an array like

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [first] => Array
                (
                    [name] => test
                    [email] => test@mail.com
                    [address] => test
                 )

        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [second] => Array
                (
                    [name] => test1
                    [email] => test1@mail.com
                    [address] => test1
                 )

        )

)

I want to search multiple values in that array, For eg: if we give name as "test" and address as "test" then the search should check both the condition name and address like "test" and then print the result.
How can create a search like this ? If anyone knows please help me thanks in advance

Are you searching for key-> value pairs? or search for a keyword no matter if it's a key or a value. If the former, you first take the key and search for keys in the array matching that, as soon as you have a match, you compare its value to your value, if it's a match you return it. (or continue if you want to find all instance of it)

Tackle the code yourself and let us know where you get stuck,
