Note Submitter: wjaspers4[at]gmail[dot]com ---- 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; } ?>
