How to search an array that is an object

I am a little confused about the array_search function (or maybe I am trying to use the incorrect thing.) I have a bunch of transaction objects, (transactions about a customer) each is an array of values. After passing in an email address, I get an object that is one transaction where that email address was used. Example is below. I get it from the command print_r($results):

    stdClass Object
(
    [OverallStatus] => OK
    [RequestID] => 4564564654-65465464565-4654654
    [Results] => Array
        (
            [0] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [thing1] => 
                    [thing2] => 
                    [Status] => Active
                    [ID] => 5555555555
                    [email_addy] => [email protected]
                )

            [1] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [thing1] => 
                    [thing2] => 
                    [Status] => Active
                    [ID] => 6666666666
                    [email_addy] => [email protected]
                )

            [2] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [thing1] => 
                    [thing2] => 
                    [Status] => Active
                    [ID] => 6666666666
                    [email_addy] => [email protected]
                )

        )

)

I get this output with no trouble at all. My issue is that I need to identify when someone has a specific ID. I was trying to use a foreach but I am not getting back what I need. The code and output is below. 

foreach ($results as $key => $value) {      
echo "Key: $key; Value: $value<br />\n"; 
}

Output is 

Key: OverallStatus; Value: OK

Key: RequestID; Value: 4564564654-65465464565-4654654

Key: Results; Value: Array

All I really need to know is if the customer has an ID of 5555555555. This number will always stay the same. Am I going in the wrong direction here?

You have array of object , so you should get first the array results , and then iterate over it,try this :

foreach ($results->Results  as $key => $value) {      
 if($value->ID == 55555555) echo 'found at position'.$key;//if id is unique , add a break;
}

It would be something like the following:

$transactions = $results->Results;  //get results array

foreach ($transactions as $transaction) { // loop through each transaction object.
    echo $transaction->ID . '<br />';  // print out the id of each transaction.
}

You need to iterate through $results->Results.

foreach ($results->Results as $key => $value) {    

if($value->ID == 5555555555)
  print "Match found";

}

You should loop again for results array. Try following foreach

foreach ($results as $key => $value) {
    if($key == "Results") {
        foreach($value as $v) {
            if($v->ID == "5555555555") {
                echo "I found you";
                break;
            }
        }
    } else {
        echo "Key: $key; Value: $value<br />\n";
    }
}

Loop through '$results->Results' and check in loop if the ID=5555555555 like this:

foreach ($results->Results as $value) {      
    if($value->ID == 5555555555) {
        //do something
    }
}
