Question

This is my array

Array (
    [0] => "8266_hal_url"
    [1] => "8266_hal_picture"
    [2] => "8266_hal_status" 
    [3] => "8266_hal_qwert"
    [4] => "4224423_hal_status"
    [5] => "4223_hal_status"
)

How do I find all hal_status in an array and pass it to a query?

Answer 1

PHP >= 5.3.0

$testData = array ( '8266_hal_url',
                    '8266_hal_picture',
                    '8266_hal_status',
                    '8266_hal_qwert',
                    '4224423_hal_status',
                    '4223_hal_status',
                  );
$testNeedle = 'hal_status';

$result = array_filter($testData, function($arrayEntry) use ($testNeedle) { 
  return (strpos($arrayEntry,$testNeedle) !== false); 
});

var_dump($result);
