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)));
}
?>
preg_grep
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
preg_grep — 返回匹配模式的数组条目
说明
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不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。
示例
示例 #1 preg_grep() 示例
<?php
// 返回所有包含浮点数的元素
$fl_array = preg_grep("/^(\d+)?\.\d+$/", $array);
?>参见
- PCRE 模式
- preg_quote() - 转义正则表达式字符
- preg_match_all() - 执行一个全局正则表达式匹配
- preg_filter() - 执行一个正则表达式搜索和替换
- preg_last_error() - 返回最后一个PCRE正则执行产生的错误代码

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;
}

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
