I was in need to get value of key which resides at any level in an multidimensional array. Unfortunately there is no such array function. So I write my own as below... <?php function array_get_key_val($key, $heystack) { if (is_array($heystack)) { foreach ($heystack as $k => $v) { if ($k == $key) { return $v; } elseif (is_array($v)) { return array_get_key_val($key, $v); } } } return FALSE; } ?> Hope this will help to few. --was-- I was in need to get value of key which resides at any level in an multidimensional array.
