Search for a string or part of string in PHP

Question

I am doing a very small online store application in PHP. So I have an array of maps in PHP. I want to search for a string (a product) in the array. I looked at array_search

Answer 1

iterate through the array and use substr if you want partial matches:

this should be sufficient if you have a "small" store...
