Question

I have this array:

Array
(
  [0] => CMS_ADMIN
  [1] => CMS_ACADEMIC
  [2] => CMS_FINANCE
  [3] => HRM_HR
  [4] => SRM_D
  [5] => SRM_CNC
  [6] => SRM_TM
  [7] => SRM_DE
)

I would like to get the array by searching to the array value using the word provided. Let say I’m just provide the ‘CMS’ word, so how i’m gonna get the [0] => CMS_ADMIN, [1] =>CMS_ACADEMIC, [2] => CMS_FINANCE assign to the new array. Please help….

Answer 1

With a function that looks like this:

function array_filter_prefix($array, $prefix) {
  $result = array();
  foreach ($array as $value) {
    if (strpos($value, $prefix) === 0) {
      $result[] = $value;
    }
  }
  return $result;
}

Given an input array, $test, you can then do this to get the result:

$result = array_filter_prefix($test, 'CMS');
print_r($result);

Codepad here.
