RE: [PHP] searching an array for words starting with 'p'

I don't think there's a builtin that does exactly what you are looking for, but this will do the trick: <?php $array = array ( "pinaeapple", "orange", "passionfruit"); $newar = array(); foreach ($array as $val) { if ($val{0} == "p") { $newar[] = $val; } } ?> -Joseph Rosenblum President, 25th Street Networks Easy, Reliable PHP Web Hosting at: http://www.25thstreet.net/ -----Original Message----- From: andy [mailto:news.letters@gmx.de] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 8:37 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] searching an array for words starting with 'p' Hi there, I am wondering how to search an array for words starting with a certain character. E.G: $word = array('alpha', 'beta', 'php'); I would like to check if there is a word in the array starting with p Is there alrready a function for this?
