can somebody pls suggest me a useful way to do this

thanks in advance...

回答1:

Just use preg_grep here:

preg_grep("/^mike.*/", $array);

With array_search() I dont see, that this is possible. I would array_filter() give a try. Also look at fnmatch(). Untested:

$pattern = 'mike*';
$array = array('mike_45','peter_23','jim_12');
$array = array_filter($array, function($entry) use ($pattern) {
  return fnmatch($pattern, $entry);
});

Requires PHP5.3 and also see my comment on hsz's answer. Except that this one dont need to rewrite the search pattern, its similar.

Another way to wildcard search is to turn the array back into a string variable and then use strpos function. This will provide a true/false logical on if the string can match any array entry.

strpos(implode($array), 'mike');

This can be used in the following way.

if(strpos(implode($array), "mike"))
