Recursively search a multidimensional array for a row with a qualifying column value

I have following multidimensional array :

Array
(
    [entity_id] => 5740
    [parent_id] => 5739
    [label] => Sports
    [name] => sports
    [icon] => http://localhost/magento/media/catalog/category/
    [level] => 3
    [tab_id] => Array
        (
            [0] => 
        )

    [color] => #555555
    [coordinate] => Array
        (
            [0] => 
        )

    [amount] => 100000
    [children] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [entity_id] => 5754
                    [parent_id] => 5740
                    [label] => Badminton
                    [name] => badminton
                    [icon] => http://localhost/magento/media/catalog/category/
                    [level] => 4
                    [tab_id] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => 354
                        )

                    [color] => #DACC5C
                    [coordinate] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => 12.9539974,77.6309395
                        )

                    [amount] => 75000
                    [children] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => Array
                                (
                                    [entity_id] => 5756
                                    [parent_id] => 5754
                                    [label] => Tournaments
                                    [name] => tournaments
                                    [icon] => http://localhost/magento/media/catalog/category/
                                    [level] => 5
                                    [tab_id] => Array
                                        (
                                            [0] => 354
                                        )

                                    [color] => #8DCD55
                                    [coordinate] => Array
                                        (
                                            [0] => 12.9539974,77.6309395
                                        )

                                    [amount] => 42187.5
                                )

                        )

                )

How can I perform array search on this to get the sought children array. I have a dynamic value on the basis of which I want to search.

Let's say I want to search for [label] => Badminton, how I can get that array?

Try this:

function search_recursive(array $children, $key, $value){
    foreach($children as $child){
        if(isset($child[$key]) && $child[$key] === $value){
            return $child;
        }

        if(isset($child['children']) && is_array($child['children'])){
            $found = search_recursive($child['children'], $key, $value);
            if($found){
                return $found; 
            }
        }    
    }

    return false;
}

$children = [$array];
$result = search_recursive($children, 'label', 'Badminton');
