Filter 2D array using another 2D array where differently keyed column values intersect

Question

I have an array like this:

$array1 = [
    [
        'Firepack_sn' => '20012205',
        'Installation_Date' => '',
        'Type' => 'EH',
        'Capacity_m3h' => '81',
        'Pressure_bar' => '3,4',
        'Rpm' => '2930',
        'Power_kw' => '72',
    ],
    [
        'Firepack_sn' => '20023901',
        'Installation_Date' => '',
        'Type' => 'DH',
        'Capacity_m3h' => '195',
        'Pressure_bar' => '4,2',
        'Rpm' => '2000',
        'Power_kw' => '72',
    ],
];

And an array2 like this:

$array2 = [
    [
        'user_id' => '40009',
        'firepack_id' => '20012205',
        'activated' => '1',
    ],
    [
        'user_id' => '40009',
        'firepack_id' => '21020393',
        'activated' => '0',
    ],
];

Now I want to filter the first array, so I only get the rows with a Firepack_sn value that exists in array2 as firepack_id.

Desired output:

[
  {
    "Firepack_sn":"20012205",
    "Installation_Date":"",
    "Type":"EH","Standard":"VAS",
    "Capacity_m3h":"81",
    "Pressure_bar":"3,4",
    "Rpm":"2930",
    "Power_kw":"72"
  }
]

How can I achieve this?

Here is a way to do it :

First, you need to extract the firepack_id you need to look for, then you need to loop through $arr1 and check if Firepack_sn is the same than than one of the firepack_id you extracted before, if yes, then you add it to an array.

$arr1 = json_decode('[{"Firepack_sn":"20012205","Installation_Date":"","Type":"EH","Standard":"VAS","Capacity_m3h":"81","Pressure_bar":"3,4","Rpm":"2930","Power_kw":"72","Pump_Type":"KSB KFP50-200","Motor_Type":"DOOSAN PU066 VAS/CEA","Controller_Type":"WB882-E10 VAS","Pump_sn":"085259","Motor_sn":"EARPA209635","Controller_sn":"","Servicelevel":"","Cust_id":"0","Cust_branche":"","Cust_name":"","Cust_address1":"","Cust_zipcode":"","Cust_city":"","Cust_country":"","Cust_Phone":"","Cust_coachlevel":"","Site_Name":"E-set","Site_address1":"","Site_address2":"","Site_address3":"","Site_zipcode":"","Site_city":"","Site_country":"","Site_contact":"","Site_phone":"","activated":"1"},{"Firepack_sn":"20023901","Installation_Date":"","Type":"DH","Standard":"VAS","Capacity_m3h":"195","Pressure_bar":"4,2","Rpm":"2000","Power_kw":"72","Pump_Type":"KSB KFP50-200","Motor_Type":"DOOSAN PU066 VAS/CEA","Controller_Type":"WB882-E10 VAS","Pump_sn":"085259","Motor_sn":"EARPA209635","Controller_sn":"","Servicelevel":"","Cust_id":"0","Cust_branche":"","Cust_name":"","Cust_address1":"","Cust_zipcode":"","Cust_city":"","Cust_country":"","Cust_Phone":"","Cust_coachlevel":"","Site_Name":"D-set","Site_address1":"","Site_address2":"","Site_address3":"","Site_zipcode":"","Site_city":"","Site_country":"","Site_contact":"","Site_phone":"","activated":"0"}]');

$arr2 = json_decode('[{"user_id":"40009","firepack_id":"20012205","activated":"1"},{"user_id":"40009","firepack_id":"21020393","activated":"0"}]');

$firepackIds = array();
foreach($arr2 as $item){
  $firepackIds[] = $item->firepack_id;
}

$goodRows = array();
foreach($arr1 as $item){
  if(in_array($item->Firepack_sn, $firepackIds)){
    $goodRows[] = $item;
  }
}

echo json_encode($goodRows);

Hope this helps.
