Answer 1

You seem to be using the user id as the index of the user in the array. If this is the case, you shouldn't be using a for loop, you should just check if the key exists within the array:

$useridtofind = 123;

if (array_key_exists($useridtofind, $users)) {
  $user = $users[$useridtofind];

  echo "User exists: ", $user['age'], '/', $user['gender'], '/', $user['dob'];
} else {
  echo "User doesn't exist";
}

Answer 2

You already use the id to index the array.

Just use:

if (isset($users[$usertofind])) {
  $user = $users[$usertofind]; 
  echo $user['age'];
  echo $user['dob'];
  echo $user['gender'];
}

EDIT: Added isset check and reduced the number of times referencing the same array element
