Как сделать поиск в php массиве по значению
Можно использовать встроенную функцию array_search() , она возвращает ключ найденного элемента. Затем мы можем получить и сам элемент по этому ключу.
$numbers = [1, 2, 'salad', 'potato']; $potatoIndex = array_search('potato', $numbers); // 3 print_r($numbers[$potatoIndex]); //=> potato Поиск значения с помощью цикла foreach() .
Если значение подразумевает не полное соответствие, а частичное, то применяют обычно цикл с проверкой на вхождение искомого значения в значениях массива:
$array = [ 'key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', ]; $result = ''; foreach ($array as $value) if (str_contains($value, '5')) $result = $value; > > echo($result); // => value5 array_search
Note:
If needle is a string, the comparison is done in a case-sensitive manner.
If the third parameter strict is set to true then the array_search() function will search for identical elements in the haystack . This means it will also perform a strict type comparison of the needle in the haystack , and objects must be the same instance.
Return Values
Returns the key for needle if it is found in the array, false otherwise.
If needle is found in haystack more than once, the first matching key is returned. To return the keys for all matching values, use array_keys() with the optional search_value parameter instead.
This function may return Boolean false , but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to false . Please read the section on Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function.
Examples
Example #1 array_search() example
$array = array( 0 => ‘blue’ , 1 => ‘red’ , 2 => ‘green’ , 3 => ‘red’ );
$key = array_search ( ‘green’ , $array ); // $key = 2;
$key = array_search ( ‘red’ , $array ); // $key = 1;
?>

About searcing in multi-dimentional arrays; two notes on «xfoxawy at gmail dot com»;
It perfectly searches through multi-dimentional arrays combined with array_column() (min php 5.5.0) but it may not return the values you’d expect.
Since array_column() will produce a resulting array; it won’t preserve your multi-dimentional array’s keys. So if you check against your keys, it will fail.
$people = array(
2 => array(
‘name’ => ‘John’ ,
‘fav_color’ => ‘green’
),
5 => array(
‘name’ => ‘Samuel’ ,
‘fav_color’ => ‘blue’
)
);
$found_key = array_search ( ‘blue’ , array_column ( $people , ‘fav_color’ ));
?>
Here, you could expect that the $found_key would be «5» but it’s NOT. It will be 1. Since it’s the second element of the produced array by the array_column() function.
Secondly, if your array is big, I would recommend you to first assign a new variable so that it wouldn’t call array_column() for each element it searches. For a better performance, you could do;
$colors = array_column ( $people , ‘fav_color’ );
$found_key = array_search ( ‘blue’ , $colors );
?>
If you are using the result of array_search in a condition statement, make sure you use the === operator instead of == to test whether or not it found a match. Otherwise, searching through an array with numeric indicies will result in index 0 always getting evaluated as false/null. This nuance cost me a lot of time and sanity, so I hope this helps someone. In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s an example:
$code = array( «a» , «b» , «a» , «c» , «a» , «b» , «b» ); // infamous abacabb mortal kombat code 😛
// this is WRONG
while (( $key = array_search ( «a» , $code )) != NULL )
<
// infinite loop, regardless of the unset
unset( $code [ $key ]);
>
// this is _RIGHT_
while (( $key = array_search ( «a» , $code )) !== NULL )
<
// loop will terminate
unset( $code [ $key ]);
>
?>
for searching case insensitive better this:
array_search ( strtolower ( $element ), array_map ( ‘strtolower’ , $array ));
?>
var_dump ( array_search ( ‘needle’ , [ 0 => 0 ])); // int(0) (!)
var_dump ( array_search ( ‘needle’ , [ 0 => 0 ], true )); // bool(false)
var_dump ( array_search ( ‘needle’ , [ 0 => 0 ])); // bool(false)
To expand on previous comments, here are some examples of
where using array_search within an IF statement can go
wrong when you want to use the array key thats returned.
Take the following two arrays you wish to search:
$fruit_array = array( «apple» , «pear» , «orange» );
$fruit_array = array( «a» => «apple» , «b» => «pear» , «c» => «orange» );
if ( $i = array_search ( «apple» , $fruit_array ))
//PROBLEM: the first array returns a key of 0 and IF treats it as FALSE
if ( is_numeric ( $i = array_search ( «apple» , $fruit_array )))
//PROBLEM: works on numeric keys of the first array but fails on the second
if ( $i = is_numeric ( array_search ( «apple» , $fruit_array )))
//PROBLEM: using the above in the wrong order causes $i to always equal 1
if ( $i = array_search ( «apple» , $fruit_array ) !== FALSE )
//PROBLEM: explicit with no extra brackets causes $i to always equal 1
if (( $i = array_search ( «apple» , $fruit_array )) !== FALSE )
//YES: works on both arrays returning their keys
?>
Despite PHP’s amazing assortment of array functions and juggling maneuvers, I found myself needing a way to get the FULL array key mapping to a specific value. This function does that, and returns an array of the appropriate keys to get to said (first) value occurrence.
function array_recursive_search_key_map($needle, $haystack) foreach($haystack as $first_level_key=>$value) if ($needle === $value) return array($first_level_key);
> elseif (is_array($value)) $callback = array_recursive_search_key_map($needle, $value);
if ($callback) return array_merge(array($first_level_key), $callback);
>
>
>
return false;
>
$nested_array = $sample_array = array(
‘a’ => array(
‘one’ => array (‘aaa’ => ‘apple’, ‘bbb’ => ‘berry’, ‘ccc’ => ‘cantalope’),
‘two’ => array (‘ddd’ => ‘dog’, ‘eee’ => ‘elephant’, ‘fff’ => ‘fox’)
),
‘b’ => array(
‘three’ => array (‘ggg’ => ‘glad’, ‘hhh’ => ‘happy’, ‘iii’ => ‘insane’),
‘four’ => array (‘jjj’ => ‘jim’, ‘kkk’ => ‘kim’, ‘lll’ => ‘liam’)
),
‘c’ => array(
‘five’ => array (‘mmm’ => ‘mow’, ‘nnn’ => ‘no’, ‘ooo’ => ‘ohh’),
‘six’ => array (‘ppp’ => ‘pidgeon’, ‘qqq’ => ‘quail’, ‘rrr’ => ‘rooster’)
)
);
$array_keymap = array_recursive_search_key_map($search_value, $nested_array);
But again, with the above solution, PHP again falls short on how to dynamically access a specific element’s value within the nested array. For that, I wrote a 2nd function to pull the value that was mapped above.
function array_get_nested_value($keymap, $array)
$nest_depth = sizeof($keymap);
$value = $array;
for ($i = 0; $i < $nest_depth; $i++) $value = $value[$keymap[$i]];
>
usage example:

echo array_get_nested_value($array_keymap, $nested_array); // insane
PHP how to search multidimensional array with key and value
To handle searching a multidimensional array, you can use either the foreach statement or the array_search() function.
A PHP multidimensional array can be searched to see if it has a certain value.
Let’s see an example of performing the search. Suppose you have a multidimensional array with the following structure:
To search the array by its value, you can use the foreach statement.
You need to loop over the array and see if one of the child arrays has a specific value.
For example, suppose you want to get the array with the uid value of 111 :
Note that the comparison operator in the code above uses triple equal === .
This means the type of compared values must be the same.
The code above will produce the following output:
111 Nathan 29 In PHP 5.5 and above, you can also use the array_search() function combined with the array_column() function to find an array that matches a condition.
305 Michael 30 Let’s create a custom function from the search code so that you can perform a more dynamic search based on key and value. - The key you want to search
- The value you want the key to have
- The array you want to search
The function can be written as follows:
To handle a case where the specific value is not found, you need to add an if condition to the function.
You can return false or null when the $key is not found:
Now you can use the find_array() function anytime you need to search a multidimensional array.
The code above will produce the following output:
Now you’ve learned how to search a multidimensional array in PHP.
When you need to find an array with specific values, you only need to call the find_array() function above.
Feel free to use the function in your PHP project. 👍

array_search
Замечание:
Если needle является строкой, сравнение происходит с учетом регистра.
Если третий параметр strict установлен в TRUE , то функция array_search() будет искать идентичные элементы в haystack . Это означает, что также будут проверяться типы needle в haystack , а объекты должны быть одни и тем же экземпляром.
Возвращаемые значения
Возвращает ключ для needle , если он был найден в массиве, иначе FALSE .
Если needle присутствует в haystack более одного раза, будет возвращён первый найденный ключ. Для того, чтобы возвратить ключи для всех найденных значений, используйте функцию array_keys() с необязательным параметром search_value .
Эта функция может возвращать как boolean FALSE , так и не-boolean значение, которое приводится к FALSE . За более подробной информацией обратитесь к разделу Булев тип. Используйте оператор === для проверки значения, возвращаемого этой функцией.
Список изменений
| Версия | Описание |
|---|---|
| 5.3.0 | Вместе со всеми внутренними функциями PHP начиная с 5.3.0, array_search() возвращает NULL , если ей были переданы неверные параметры. |
| 4.2.0 | До PHP 4.2.0, array_search() при неудаче возвращал NULL вместо FALSE . |
Примеры
Пример #1 Пример использования array_search()
$array = array( 0 => 'blue' , 1 => 'red' , 2 => 'green' , 3 => 'red' );
$key = array_search ( 'green' , $array ); // $key = 2;
$key = array_search ( 'red' , $array ); // $key = 1;
?>
