After unsuccessfully searching for a way to locate a key in a multidimensional array, I decided to write a function that will do this and return the path, element or value associated with the key.

    /**
    * Recursively searches a multidimensional array for a key and optional value and returns the path as a string representation or subset of the array or a value.
    *
    * @author  Akin Williams <aowilliams@arstropica.com>
    *
    * @param   int|string $needle Key
    * @param   array $haystack Array to be searched
    * @param   bool $strict Optional, limit to keys of the same type. Default false.
    * @param   string $output Optional, output key path as a string representation or array subset, ('array'|'string'|'value'). Default array.
    * @param   bool $count Optional, append number of matching elements to result. Default false.
    * @param   int|string $value Optional, limit results to keys matching this value. Default null.
    * @return  array Array containing matching keys and number of matches
