Search array? Then get sub values?

Question

I have an array that looks like

And I want to get the data array from array of products where the order_product_id (so if it was 91385 I would get

[data] => Array
                        (
                            [gift_description] => Hello
                            [gift_email] => dubccom
                            [gift_sender] => Hello
                            [gift_sendDate] => 2011-10-25
                            [gift_title] => Thesure
                            [gift_card] => 2130
                            [gift_price] => 25
                            [gift_qty] => 5
                            [gift_name] => Steveek
                            [module] => uc_product
                            [cert_code] => 8-x8mfqXyUYXze
                        )

Any help how I could do so?

function search_products($id,$products)
{
    $id = intval($id);
    foreach($products as $product)
    {
        if($product->order_product_id == $id)
        {
            return($product->data);
        }
    }
    return null;
}

An educated guess at what you're looking for. Call it like search_products(91385, $products). If it returns null, it hasn't found the product ID. I also added a call to intval so if you're relying on user input for this, it'll be an int regardless. If you already sanitize it to an int, this doesn't hurt.

EDIT: Misread original post. Updated from array syntax to object property syntax.

Just FYI, there is no need to call return null; as the last line of a function, as this is what happens implicitly.

@DaveRandom: Hmm, so it does. Regardless, it can't hurt

function data_by_order ($arr, $orderId) {
  foreach ($arr as $item) { // Loop the array
    if ($item->order_product_id == $orderId) { // Test this item for the right order id
      return $item->data; // Return the data array
    }
  }
  return FALSE; // Return false if we didn't find it
}

// Example usage:
$data = data_by_order($array,91385);
print_r($data);

$prod_data = false;
foreach ($products as $product)
{
    if ($product->order_product_id == 91385)
    {
        $prod_data = $product->data;
        break;
    }
}
if ($prod_data) {
    // knock yourself out
}

Quite similar to plain English, huh?
