How to filter a two dimensional array by value
Use PHP's array_filter function with a callback.
$new = array_filter($arr, function ($var) {
return ($var['name'] == 'CarEnquiry');
});
Edit: If it needs to be interchangeable, you can modify the code slightly:
$filterBy = 'CarEnquiry'; // or Finance etc.
$new = array_filter($arr, function ($var) use ($filterBy) {
return ($var['name'] == $filterBy);
});
<?php
function filter_array($array,$term){
$matches = array();
foreach($array as $a){
if($a['name'] == $term)
$matches[]=$a;
}
return $matches;
}
$new_array = filter_array($your_array,'CarEnquiry');
?>
If you want to make this a generic function use this:
function filterArrayByKeyValue($array, $key, $keyValue)
{
return array_filter($array, function($value) use ($key, $keyValue) {
return $value[$key] == $keyValue;
});
}
