Better multidimensional search

[Guillaume Dargaud]

Hello all,
I'm pretty sure there's a better way to do this without having to explore
the whole array until a match is found, but the solution escapes me at the
moment:

foreach ($Array as $key)
if ($key[1]===$Whatever) {
$Found=$key[0];
break;
}

If you're looking for key instead of item you should write:

foreach( $array as $key =$item )...

looking for item? use array_search.

If you're looking for key instead of item you should write:

foreach( $array as $key =$item )...

Right, I should have written $item

looking for item? use array_search.

Hmmm... But I'm looking only in the 2nd 'column' of a 2D array. array_search
or in_array don't let me narrow down the search for a specific column. How
can I do that ?
