Is there any way I can search an array for a value and return it's key, I tried array_search() with no success... below is an example of my array

[0] => Array ( [value] => [text] => All Call Types )

[1] => Array
    (
        [value] => enquiry
        [text] => Renovation Enquiry
    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [value] => msg
        [text] => Message to Pass on
    ) ...

My ultimate goal is to convert

value to text.

Here's what I tried:

$key = array_search($row['call_type'], $type_list);
$call_type_name = $type_list[$key]['text'];

Thanks!
