note 85398 added to function.preg-match

I found this rather useful for testing mutliple strings when developing a regex pattern. <?php /** * Runs preg_match on an array of strings and returns a result set. * @author wjaspers4[at]gmail[dot]com * @param String $expr The expression to match against * @param Array $batch The array of strings to test. * @return Array */ function preg_match_batch( $expr, $batch=array() ) { // create a placeholder for our results $returnMe = array(); // for every string in our batch ... foreach( $batch as $str ) { // test it, and dump our findings into $found preg_match($expr, $str, $found); // append our findings to the placeholder $returnMe[$str] = $found; } return $returnMe; } ?> ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 209.150.201.146 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85398 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85398/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85398/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85398/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85398/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85398/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85398/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85398 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85398 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
