This question is an exact duplicate of:

I'm trying to filter the array in PHP. Please see my array:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [date_start_month_name] => January
            [approved] => Accepted: yes
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [date_start_month_name] => March
            [approved] => Accepted: yes
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [date_start_month_name] => March
            [approved] => Accepted: yes
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [date_start_month_name] => April
            [approved] => Accepted: yes
        )
)

I want to filter the array using month name, for example: March and get something like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [date_start_month_name] => March
            [approved] => Accepted: yes
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [date_start_month_name] => March
            [approved] => Accepted: yes
        )
)

How can I do that? Thanks in advance for any help. Best!

So have you looked at array_filter()? –  Mark Baker Feb 6 '13 at 10:38

$march = array_filter($my_arr, function($value) { 
   return $value['date_start_month_name'] == "March"; 
});

Try array_filter:

$array=array(array("month"=>"January","foo"=>"bar"),array("month"=>"January","foo"=>"bar"),array("month"=>"March","foo"=>"bar"),array("month"=>"March","foo"=>"bar"));
print_r($array);
$result=array_filter($array,function($o){return $o["month"]=="March";});
print_r($result);

Outputs:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [month] => January
            [foo] => bar
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [month] => January
            [foo] => bar
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [month] => March
            [foo] => bar
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [month] => March
            [foo] => bar
        )

)
