I want to get all the array data where keys has the characters 'ch' from the start. How do I get it?
Array ( [editpostid] => 0 [editpostcat] => 1 [ch114] => on [ch115] => on )
The keys of the data may vary as the numbers come from the record id's from the database.
how do I place all the data with 'ch' in the start of keys on to a separate array?
Do like this
<?php
$arr = array('ch'=>10,'abch'=>20,'ch23'=>45);
$newarr=array();
foreach($arr as $k=>$v)
{
if(substr(strtolower($k),0,2)=='ch')
{
array_push($newarr,$v); // Make use of this if you just need the values
//$newarr[$k]=$v; // Uncomment this and comment above statement, if you need the keys too
}
}
print_r($newarr);
OUTPUT:
Array
(
[0] => 10
[1] => 45
)
that has the characters 'ch' from the start.: This will get those which have ch anywhere. Unless that's what they want, because they list contradictory requirements in the question$charray=array();
foreach($yourarray as $key=>$value){
if(preg_match("/^ch/",$key)){
$charray[$key]=>$value;
}
}
//$charray is the new arrayas you asked for
echo implode(',',$charray);
refer official documentation for preg_match for more information
