My goal is to search within multi diamensional array using Preg Match (just LIKE Operator Search in my SQL), I tried all the possible ways which I know but nothing works for me. My current search code works well but only with the exact match, I want to do it search titles and categories only from the array so that it will matches with the pharse %Action% and extract the possible value or array
Here is my PHP code
function searchMultiDimensionalArray($array, $key, $value) {
$results = array();
if (is_array($array)) {
if (isset($array[$key]) && $array[$key] == $value)
$results[] = $array;
foreach ($array as $subarray)
$results = array_merge($results, searchMultiDimensionalArray($subarray, $key, $value));
}
return $results;
}
Here is the demo Array Array
