PHP find an array item by a nested key-CodePudding

I have a PHP array and I need to find an item based on a key within the tlp_queue_manager_schedulers object, I tried doing array_search but this returned false, I also tried combining this method with array_column:

[
   {
      "tlp_queue_manager_schedulers":{
         "id":"1",
         "token":"ABC"
      },
      "0":{
         "num":"1"
      }
   },
   {
      "tlp_queue_manager_schedulers":{
         "id":"3",
         "token":"cron-3"
      },
      "0":{
         "num":"2"
      }
   },
   {
      "tlp_queue_manager_schedulers":{
         "id":"4",
         "token":"CronA75nvAgjsm8b"
      },
      "0":{
         "num":"3"
      }
   },
   {
      "tlp_queue_manager_schedulers":{
         "id":"2",
         "token":"XYZ"
      },
      "0":{
         "num":"4"
      }
   }
]

For example, I need to return the array item where the id key within tlp_queue_manager_schedulers matches 3, this should then return:

{
    "tlp_queue_manager_schedulers":{
         "id":"3",
         "token":"cron-3"
    },
    "0":{
         "num":"2"
    }
}

You can try the find() method

var result = array.find(x => x.tlp_queue_manager_schedulers.id === '3');
console.log(result);

Good ol' foreach loop. Nothing beats a foreach loop:

foreach($array as $obj)
{
    if($obj->tlp_queue_manager_schedulers->id == "3")
    {
        return $obj;
    }
}
