search and replace value in PHP array

Question

I was looking for some standard PHP function to replace some value of an array with other, but surprisingly I haven\'t found any, so I have to write my own:

Answer 1

Based on Deept Raghav's answer, I created the follow solution that does regular expression search.

$arr = [
    'Array Element 1',
    'Array Element 2',
    'Replace Me',
    'Array Element 4',
];

$arr = array_replace(
    $arr,
    array_fill_keys(
        array_keys(
            preg_grep('/^Replace/', $arr)
        ),
        'Array Element 3'
    )
);

echo '
', var_export($arr), '
';
