note 117219 added to function.array-diff

I always wanted something like this to avoid listing all the files and folders you want to exclude in a project directory. function array_preg_diff($a, $p) { foreach ($a as $i => $v) if (preg_match($p, $v)) unset($a[$i]); return $a; } $relevantFiles = array_preg_diff(scandir('somedir'), '/^\./'); instead of $relevantFiles = array_diff(scandir('somedir'), array('.', '..', '.idea', '.project)); ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 217.91.157.62 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-diff.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/117219 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117219/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117219/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117219/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117219/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117219/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117219/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117219 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/117219 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
