Matching one object value and pulling out array

[Ninjakreborn]

This might be...easier than i'm trying to make it. For some reason it's failing me.

 

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [player_id] => 11
            [orders] => 5
            [q1Points] => 110.75
            [q2Points] => 109
            [q3Points] => 0
            [q4Points] => 36
            [total_points] => 255.75
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [player_id] => 39
            [orders] => 2
            [q1Points] => 75.5
            [q2Points] => 100.25
            [q3Points] => 0
            [q4Points] => 45.5
            [total_points] => 221.25
        )

    [2] => stdClass Object
        (
            [player_id] => 38
            [orders] => 1
            [q1Points] => 63
            [q2Points] => 70
            [q3Points] => 0
            [q4Points] => 83.25
            [total_points] => 216.25
        )

    [3] => stdClass Object
        (
            [player_id] => 41
            [orders] => 3
            [q1Points] => 73.75
            [q2Points] => 54
            [q3Points] => 0
            [q4Points] => 71
            [total_points] => 198.75
        )

    [4] => stdClass Object
        (
            [player_id] => 23
            [orders] => 7
            [q1Points] => 88.75
            [q2Points] => 59
            [q3Points] => 0
            [q4Points] => 43.125
            [total_points] => 190.875
        )

    [5] => stdClass Object
        (
            [player_id] => 37
            [orders] => 4
            [q1Points] => 30.25
            [q2Points] => 76
            [q3Points] => 0
            [q4Points] => 55.875
            [total_points] => 162.125
        )

    [6] => stdClass Object
        (
            [player_id] => 43
            [orders] => 6
            [q1Points] => 44
            [q2Points] => 23.25
            [q3Points] => 0
            [q4Points] => 39.625
            [total_points] => 106.875
        )

    [7] => stdClass Object
        (
            [player_id] => 44
            [orders] => 8
            [q1Points] => 36.25
            [q2Points] => 22.5
            [q3Points] => 0
            [q4Points] => 32
            [total_points] => 90.75
        )

)

 

I want to find which item has the highest Q4Points value and get the player ID from it.  That should be easy, but for some reason my mind is

trying to make it complicated.

You just need a simple linear search:

 

<?php
$highestPoints = 0.0;
$highestObject;

foreach ($array as $val) {
   if ($val->Q4Points >= $highestPoints) {
      $highestObject = $val;
      $highestPoints = $val->Q4Points;
   }
}

$id = $highestObject->ID;
?>

Thanks, I appreciate that.
