Search for PHP array element containing string?
Let’s say we have the following array
$subject= array('JavaScript','Java','PHP language','Python Language');
From the above array, we need to fetch values with the following text
$valueToSearch= 'Language';
For such match, use preg_match() in PHP.
Example
The PHP code is as follows
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <?php $subject= array('JavaScript','Java','PHP language','Python Language'); $valueToSearch= 'Language'; $result = array(); foreach($subject as $t=>$value) { if(preg_match("/\b$valueToSearch\b/i", $value)){ $result[$t] = $value; } } print_r($result); ?> </body> </html>
Output
This will produce the following output
Array ( [2] => PHP language [3] => Python Language )
