So, I have an array that looks like this

}


I want to see if the array["ponbr"]  values matched then pick this array and
construct another one with the matched arrays so I can get something like
this

  [0]=>
  array(8) {
    ["line"]=>
    string(1) "1"
    ["ponbr"]=>
    string(5) "TEST1"
    ["emt"]=>
    string(3) "yes"
    ["qty"]=>
    string(1) "5"
    ["price"]=>
    string(2) "19"
    ["shipdate"]=>
    string(8) "12/04/06"
    ["tracking"]=>
    string(9) "123123123"
    ["approved"]=>
    string(4) "true"
  }
  [1]=>
  array(8) {
    ["line"]=>
    string(1) "2"
    ["ponbr"]=>
    string(5) "TEST1"
    ["emt"]=>
    string(3) "yes"
    ["qty"]=>
    string(1) "5"
    ["price"]=>
    string(2) "12"
    ["shipdate"]=>
    string(8) "12/04/06"
    ["tracking"]=>
    string(12) "123123123123"
    ["approved"]=>
    string(4) "true"
  }

What is the best way to do this efficiently?

Thanks for your input!

$resultArray = array();
foreach($array as $key=>$val) {
        if($val['ponbr'] === 'TEST1') {
                $resultArray[$key] = $val;
        }
}

$resultArray will contain the output you specified; pretty quick IMO.
