find items in array and delete them if they exist

Question

i have this items in array

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 0001 [1] => 1 [2] => 123456789 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => 0000 [1] => 1 [2] => 011155555 ) )

so, now i want to find 0000 and 011155555 and if they exist to delete that position where they exist.

i cant figure it out how to check if both criteria exist in array. I tried with 'array_search' but i dont know how to search both criteria in array.

so it should be something like that:

if 0000 and 011155555 exist in array, remove that position

Since you're looking at an array of arrays, this sounds like a job for recursion. — mituw16, Aug 04 '15 at 19:35
Example of what? `in_array` function? You have no google there? — u_mulder, Aug 04 '15 at 19:36
@u_mulder `in_array` won't work in this instance as OP is using multi-dimensional arrays... `in_array` only searches 1 dimension arrays — mituw16, Aug 04 '15 at 19:38
@gandrap Try looking at this, this is an example of a recursive function searching multidimensional arrays. http://stackoverflow.com/a/4128377/1729859 — mituw16, Aug 04 '15 at 19:39
@u_mulder i ask you nicley, dont need to be smart guy... i tried in_array aleady, but id doesnt work in my case, or i dont know how to do it. — gandrap, Aug 04 '15 at 19:41

This is my second array_filter() today:

$result = array_filter($array, function($v) {
                                    return !(in_array('0000', $v) &&
                                             in_array('011155555', $v));
                               });

find items in array and delete them if they exist
