note 92761 added to function.array-filter

Wanting to pass an additional to parameter to the callback function? This worked for me, there's probably another way to accomplish this task but just so you see how it can be done. (I actually used this technique to strip old dates out of an array) : //define in global scope so functions can access $var_to_pass = null; function myfilter($input_var_outer,$param) { global $var_to_pass; $var_to_pass = $param; function mycallback($input_var_inner) { global $var_to_pass; return ($input_var_inner>$var_to_pass) ? true : false; } $return_arr = array_filter($input_var_outer,'mycallback'); //re-key if you want $return_arr = array_merge(array(),$return_arr); return $return_arr; } $min = 5; $a = array(1,3,5,7,9); //remove elements from array that are not greater than $min $a = myfilter($a,$min); echo "<pre>"; print_r($a); echo "</pre>"; -- Output: Array ( [0] => 7 [1] => 9 ) ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 72.197.144.133 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-filter.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92761 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92761/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92761/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92761/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92761/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92761/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92761/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92761 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92761 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
