Searching a Multidimensional Array

[Dan_Mason]

I am having trouble searching for an item in a multi-dimensional array.

 

Is there a way to search only one column in a multi-dimensional array?

 

i.e:

 

MULTI-DIMENSIONAL ARRAY

ID  Name  DataTable

0  John  Employee

1  Dan  Employee

2  Matt  Boss

3  Becky Supervisor

 

Is there a way to only search the column "Name"(Column 2) using array_search() or similar? (i.e array_search("John",$ARRAY[Column2])

 

The help would be very much appreciated!

 

Cheers, Dan

echo $arrayVariableName[0]['name']

 

but to search in an array I think similar to above maybe? in_array() possibly.
