I'm looking the way to find one string in array of strings:
$array = ['string1'=>'custom', 'other string'=>'another', 'another'=>'again', 'custom'=>'pid|100', 'once again'=>'pid|'];
I need to find this element: pid|100;
String should containt: pid|any positive integer number
foreach($array as $value) {
// regular expression here
}
How can I found this value? Thanks!
You want to use preg_grep for this :)
print_r(preg_grep('/^pid\|[0-9]+$/',$array));
in_array(preg_match('/^pid\|[0-9]+$/',$your_array),$your_array);
in_array(preg_grep('/^pid\|[0-9]+$/',$your_array),$your_array);
if you need to check this particular element i.e. pid|100
then just use in_array('pid|100',$your_array)
there is no need to check using regular expression
hope this will help you in solve your problem
