How to do conditioning in foreach loop - php

Question

I have a foreach loop for array $students where I am trying to compare a paramater $find that I get from a form to $students array's $key value -> if they match it checks if the student is enrolled (this works) and if not it should print "Not found" but it doesn't do anything.. I have tried a lots of things but nothing works, please help!
I translated this from finnish so there might be typo's but the problem is in the syntax..
//values come from a file
$students[$key] = array('key' => $key, 'name' => $name, 'occ' => $occ);
foreach ($students as $value) {
//This doesn't work - $find comes from a form
if ($value["key"] != $find) {
$phase= "Not found";
$enroll= "";
//echo "$phase $enroll";
continue;
}
//This works
elseif ($value["key"] == $find) {
$phase= $value["name"] . "(" . $value["key"] . "):";
if ($value["occ"] == "1") {
$enroll= " yes";
continue;
}
elseif ($value["occ"] == "0") {
$enroll= "no";
continue;
}
}
//It prints out for example "John(1234): yes"
//But nothing if the studentnumber = key doesn't match..
echo "$phase $enroll";
}

You don't need to check $value["key"] twice
$students[$key] = array('key' => $key, 'name' => $name, 'occ' => $occ);
foreach ( $students as $value ) {
$phase= "Not found";
$enroll= "";
if ( $value["key"] == $find ) {
$phase= $value["name"] . "(" . $value["key"] . "):";
$enroll = ( $value["occ"] == "1" ) ? " yes" : "no";
}
echo "$phase $enroll";
}
