        )
)

and I have a variable $categ.For example $categ = " homeandgardenairconditioner-Type " then I want to know the index of the parent array whose " name " is " homeandgardenairconditioner-Type "

ie --- o/p should be 9

how to get this index. Please help me

Thanks

I think you are looking for this:

function getIndex($name, $array){
    foreach($array as $key => $value){
        if(is_array($value) && $value['name'] == $name)
              return $key;
    }
    return null;
}
