I have an array of objects. The objects have a is_valid method that has some internal logic and returns either a boolean.
Now I want to get all objects in the array that return true to is_valid. I can do it using a foreach loop.
But is there way to do it using array_filter in PHP without creating a new anonymous or callback function?
The answer is no? http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-filter.php
array_filter
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5, PHP 7) array_filter — Filters elements of an array using a callback function
You will not be able to achive this without an anonymous callback function, as bestprogrammerintheworld said
so if you'd still like to use array_filter, this may be your answer:
array_filter($array, function($entry) { return $entry->is_valid(); } );
