Small method i built for my Array module, after looking through the manual I wanted a small compact
way of making a wildcard search through an arrays values, and returning only those that it found.
<?php
/**
* Takes a needle and haystack (just like in_array()) and does a wildcard search on it's
values.
*
* @param string $string Needle to find
* @param array $array Haystack to look through
* @result array Returns the elements that the $string was found in
*/
function find ($string, $array = array ())
{
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
unset ($array[$key]);
if (strpos($value, $string) !== false) {
$array[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $array;
}
?>
