PHP search array column for 2 values using in_array() - php

Question

How do I search for 2 values in the same record using in_array()?
For example I want to search for 'AuthorNiceName' value and 'AuthorType' value.
The below code does not work how I would like. It should return "EU TEST" but it returns "CP TEST".
Thanks in advance.
$authors = array(
array(
'AuthorName' => 'John Smith',
'AuthorNiceName' => 'john-smith',
'AuthorType' => 'CP'
),
array(
'AuthorName' => 'Joe Bloggs',
'AuthorNiceName' => 'joe-bloggs',
'AuthorType' => 'EU'
),
);
if (in_array('joe-bloggs', array_column($authors, 'AuthorNiceName')) && in_array('EU', array_column($authors, 'AuthorType'))) {
$authorType = 'CP TEST';
}
else {
$authorType = 'EU TEST';
}
echo $authorType;
UPDATE: My latest code using #Philipp's suggestion which I adjusted slightly. However it doesn't work, if there are other users with the same 'AuthorType' it returns "no match"?
$authors = array( //TODO
array(
'AuthorName' => 'John Smith',
'AuthorNiceName' => 'john-smith',
'AuthorType' => 'CP'
),
array(
'AuthorName' => 'Joe Bloggs',
'AuthorNiceName' => 'joe-bloggs',
'AuthorType' => 'EU'
),
array(
'AuthorName' => 'Matt Bat',
'AuthorNiceName' => 'matt-bat',
'AuthorType' => 'EU'
),
);
$name = 'joe-bloggs';
$type = 'EU';
foreach ($authors as $author) {
if ($author['AuthorNiceName'] == $name && $author['AuthorType'] == 'EU') {
$authorType = 'EU Test';
}
elseif ($author['AuthorNiceName'] == $name && $author['AuthorType'] == 'CP') {
$authorType = 'CP Test';
}
else {
$authorType = 'no match';
}
}
echo $authorType; //returns "not match". it should return "EU Test".

Answer 1

It seems, you should use a loop for what you want
$name = 'joe-bloggs';
$type = 'EU';
foreach ($authors as $author) {
if ($author['AuthorNiceName'] == $name && $author['AuthorType'] == $type) {
// do something
}
}
using in_array with array_column looses the information if the result is from the same column. Using array_search, you could also compare the index of the columns, but this seems like a bad solution...
Update
The problem with your update is, you overwrite the $authorType var, after you set the correct value. You should check, if an value is already set and only then set a new value.
$name = 'joe-bloggs';
$authorType = false;
foreach ($authors as $author) {
if ($author['AuthorNiceName'] == $name && $author['AuthorType'] == 'EU') {
$authorType = 'EU Test';
} elseif ($author['AuthorNiceName'] == $name && $author['AuthorType'] == 'CP') {
$authorType = 'CP Test';
}
}
if ($authorType === false) {
echo 'no match';
} else {
echo $authorType;
}
