I don't think there's a builtin that does exactly what you are looking
for, but this will do the trick:
<?php
$array = array ( "pinaeapple", "orange", "passionfruit");
$newar = array();
foreach ($array as $val) {
if ($val{0} == "p") {
$newar[] = $val;
}
}
?>

Subject: [PHP] searching an array for words starting with 'p'
Hi there,
I am wondering how to search an array for words starting with a certain
character.
E.G:
$word = array('alpha', 'beta', 'php');
I would like to check if there is a word in the array starting with p
Is there alrready a function for this?
Thanx, Andy
