I guess I still don't understand. The input array is:
$rates = array(
array("animal" => 0, "color" => 0, "rate" => 5),
array("animal" => 0, "color" => 1, "rate" => 10),
array("animal" => 0, "color" => 2, "rate" => 15),
array("animal" => 1, "color" => 0, "rate" => 20),
array("animal" => 1, "color" => 1, "rate" => 25),
array("animal" => 1, "color" => 2, "rate" => 30),
array("animal" => 2, "color" => 0, "rate" => 35),
array("animal" => 2, "color" => 1, "rate" => 40),
array("animal" => 2, "color" => 2, "rate" => 45),
array("animal" => 3, "color" => 0, "rate" => 50),
array("animal" => 3, "color" => 1, "rate" => 55),
array("animal" => 3, "color" => 2, "rate" => 60)
);
If $input_animal is 1 then $rates[1] will be array("animal" => 0, "color" => 1, "rate" => 10). If $input_color = 2 then $rates[1][2] will be 10. Right?
