preg_match two arrays.... help?

[jdubwelch]

I have two arrays...

$commonFields = array ('bed','bath','school');

$fieldNames = array ('Lisitng File #', 'Chain Y/N', 'Bedrooms', 'Half Baths', 'School District');

 

foreach ($fieldNames as $field) {
    // Find match in $commonFields
}

 

I was thinking using in_array but i need something more

 

i need it to out put: Bedrooms, Half Baths, and School District

$commonFields = array ('bed','bath','school');
$fieldNames = array ('Lisitng File #', 'Chain Y/N', 'Bedrooms', 'Half Baths', 'School District');
$arrMatches = array();
foreach ($fieldNames as $field) {
   foreach ($commonFields as $commonfield) {
       if(eregi($commonfield, $field))
       $arrMatches[] = $field;
   }
}
print_r($arrMatches);

 

not tested.

 

Also i assume u must have thought about this and were looking for a shorter way, but still trying

Two things: I would not suggest using 'eregi' anymore (as it appears later versions of PHP will move towards POSIX, "preg"). Second, when using eregi in this case, you still need the delimiters around the pattern to match.

 

$commonFields = array ('bed','bath','school');
$fieldNames = array ('Lisitng File #', 'Chain Y/N', 'Bedrooms', 'Half Baths', 'School District');
$arrMatches = array();
foreach ($fieldNames as $field) {
   foreach ($commonFields as $commonfield) {
       if(preg_match("/$commonfield/i", $field))//note the difference, the "i" at the end is for case-insensitive matches
       $arrMatches[] = $field;
   }
}
print_r($arrMatches);
