Can be solved using the array-filter function. Right now

$a1 = [
    ['id' => 1, 'status', 'active'], 
    ['id' => 2, 'status', 'in-active']
];

$search = 2;

print_r(array_filter($a1, function ($object) use ($search) {
    return $object['id'] == $search;
}));

It will return the entire array from the array matching the search id.

You can also write a function for this

function search($data, $searchValue, $searchField, $returnField) {

    $filter = array_filter($data, function ($object) use ($searchValue, $searchField) {
      return $object[$searchField] == $searchValue;
    });

   return count($filter) > 0 ? $filter[0][$returnField] : null;

}

Using the array_column function, this can be easily solved and is very general.

$array = [
  ['id' => 18460, 'field_id' => 14, 'parent_id' => 165, 'custom_tab_field_id' => 17775, 'status' => 0, 'field_type' => 0],
  ['id' => 18460, 'field_id' => 2, 'parent_id' => 165, 'custom_tab_field_id' => 17776, 'status' => 0, 'field_type' => 2],
  ['id' => 18460, 'field_id' => 14, 'parent_id' => 165, 'custom_tab_field_id' => 17777, 'status' => 2, 'field_type' => 2],
];

$findKey = 'custom_tab_field_id';
$getKey = 'status';
$findVal = 17777;

$arrKeyValue = array_column($array,$getKey,$findKey);

$status = $arrKeyValue[$findVal];  //2

This solution does not include error handling, it only shows the principle. $arrKeyValue is an array, how to:

array (
  17775 => 0,
  17776 => 0,
  17777 => 2,
)
