返回给定数组array中与模式pattern 匹配的元素组成的数组。

参数

pattern

要搜索的模式,字符串形式。

array

输入数组。

flags

如果设置为PREG_GREP_INVERT,这个函数返回输入数组中与 给定模式pattern匹配的元素组成的数组。

返回值

返回使用array中key做索引的数组。 或者在失败时返回 false

错误/异常

如果传递的正则表达式无法正常解析,会发出 E_WARNING

A shorter way to run a match on the array's keys rather than the values:

<?php
function preg_grep_keys($pattern, $input, $flags = 0) {
return
array_intersect_key($input, array_flip(preg_grep($pattern, array_keys($input), $flags)));
}
?>

This may be obvious to most experienced developers,but just in case its not,when using preg_grep to check for whitelisted items ,one must be very careful to explicitly define the regex boundaries or it will fail
<?php
$whitelist
= ["home","dashboard","profile","group"];
$possibleUserInputs = ["homd","hom","ashboard","settings","group"];
foreach(
$possibleUserInputs as $input)
{
if(
preg_grep("/$input/i",$whitelist)
{
echo
$input." whitelisted";
}else{
echo
$input." flawed";
}

}
?>
This results in:

homd flawed
hom whitelisted
ashboard whitelisted
settings flawed
group whitelisted

I think this is because if boundaries are not explicitly defined,preg_grep looks for any instance of the substring in the whole array and returns true if found.This is not what we want,so boundaries must be defined.

<?php
foreach($possibleUserInputs as $input)
{
if(
preg_grep("/^$input$/i",$whitelist)
{
echo
$input." whitelisted";
}else{
echo
$input." flawed";
}

}
?>
this results in:
homd flawed
hom flawed
ashboard flawed
settings flawed
group whitelisted
in_array() will also give the latter results but will require few tweaks if say,the search is to be case insensitive,which is always the case 70% of the time

Run a match on the array's keys rather than the values:

<?php

function preg_grep_keys( $pattern, $input, $flags = 0 )
{
$keys = preg_grep( $pattern, array_keys( $input ), $flags );
$vals = array();
foreach (
$keys as $key )
{
$vals[$key] = $input[$key];
}
return
$vals;
}

?>

An even shorter way to run a match on the array's keys rather than the values:

<?php
function preg_grep_keys($pattern, $input, $flags = 0) {
return
array_flip( preg_grep($pattern, array_flip($input), $flags ) );
}
