PHP - get all keys from a array that start with a certain string

Question

I have an array that looks like this:

array(
  \'abc\' => 0,
  \'foo-bcd\' => 1,
  \'foo-def\' => 1,
  \'foo-xyz\' => 0,
  // ...
)

Answer 1

This is how I would do it, though I can't give you a more efficient advice before understanding what you want to do with the values you get.

$search = "foo-";
$search_length = strlen($search);
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
    if (substr($key, 0, $search_length) == $search) {
        ...use the $value...
    }
}
