I have following set of an array
array('www.example.com/','www.example.com','www.demo.example.com/','www.example.com/blog','www.demo.com');
and I would like to get all element which matching following patterns,
$matchArray = array('*.example.com/*','www.demo.com');
Expected result as
array('www.example.com/','www.demo.example.com/','www.example.com/blog','www.demo.com');
Thanks :)
This works:
$valuesArray = array('www.example.com/','www.example.com','www.demo.example.com/','www.example.com/blog','www.demo.com');
$matchArray = array('*.example.com/*','www.demo.com');
$matchesArray = array();
foreach ($valuesArray as $value) {
foreach ($matchArray as $match) {
//These fix the pseudo regex match array values
$match = preg_quote($match);
$match = str_replace('\*', '.*', $match);
$match = str_replace('/', '\/', $match);
//Match and add to $matchesArray if not already found
if (preg_match('/'.$match.'/', $value)) {
if (!in_array($value, $matchesArray)) {
$matchesArray[] = $value;
}
}
}
}
print_r($matchesArray);
But I would reccomend changing the syntax of your matches array to be actual regex patterns so that the fix section of code is not required.
/\w+(\.demo)?\.example\.com\/\w*|www\.demo\.com/
