There are two arrays:
$strings = array('Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange');
$substrings = array('pp', 'range');
I want to get an array which contains all the strings, that match the substrings:
Array
(
[0] => Apple
[2] => Orange
)
Or with new indices:
Array
(
[0] => Apple
[1] => Orange
)
A simple solution that comes to mind: combine array_filter and strpos;
$strings = array('Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange');
$substrings = array('pp', 'range');
$result = array_filter($strings, function($item) use($substrings) {
foreach($substrings as $substring)
if(strpos($item, $substring) !== FALSE) return TRUE;
return FALSE;
});
To reset indices, you can use the array_values function.
$strings = array('Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange');
$substrings = array('pp', 'range');
$newarray = array();
foreach ($strings as $string) {
foreach ($substrings as $substring) {
if (strstr($string, $substring)) {
array_push($newarray, $string);
}
}
}
in $newarray you have the result
try array_search. looked at the second note at the bottom of this page http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php for an example.
$arr=array();
foreach($substrings as $item)
{
$result=array_keys($strings,$item);
if ($result)
{
$arr=array_merge($arr,$result);
}
}
You can use array_filter for this:
$strings = array('Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange');
$substrings = array('pp', 'range');
$result = array_filter($strings, function($string) use ($substrings){
foreach($substrings as $substring)
if(strstr($string, $substring) !== false)
return true;
return false;
});
// $result is the result you want.
