How to display certain item from dynamic Array

Hey Guys,

I have an array:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [lang] => English
            [langorig] => En
            [flag] => us
            [isocode] => en
            [url] => /
            [active] => 1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [lang] => Thai
            [langorig] => th
            [flag] => th
            [isocode] => th
            [url] => /th/
            [active] => 
        )

)

What do I need to write for it to say "if active = 1" then echo "isocode" ?

I'm trying to only display isocode only if that array item 'active' is set to 1

This array is dynamic and can add more languages or different ones so I can't just do an if else statement

Please help

I'm not sure i understand the problem. I tried to write a demo:

<?php

$outerArray = [
];
$outerArray[]= [
    "active"=>1,
    "isocode"=> "isocode1"
];
$outerArray[]= [
    "active"=>0,
    "isocode"=> "isocode2"
];

$innerArray = $outerArray[1];
if($innerArray['active']===1){
echo "isocode";
}

Hey Simon, sorry I must of been unclear however your example got me closer to the answer - this worked for me

foreach ($args as $langrecord) { 
          if ($langrecord['active'] == 1) { 
            echo '<dt><a href="#"><span><img class="flag" src="' . "$plugpath/img/flags/{$langrecord['flag']}" . '.png" alt="' . $langrecord['langorig'] . '"/>' . $langrecord['isocode'] . '</span></a></dt><dd><ul class="' . NO_TRANSLATE_CLASS . '">';
          }
        }
