function find_file_path($dir_structure, $filename) {
    foreach($dir_structure as $dir => $subpath) {
        if(is_array($subpath)) {
            $sub_found = find_file_path($subpath, $filename);
            if($sub_found) {
                return "/" . $dir . $sub_found;
            }
        } else {
            if($subpath === $filename) {
                return "/$filename";
            }
        }
    }
    return FALSE;
}
