search a php array for partial string match

Question

I have an array and I\'d like to search for the string \'green\'. So in this case it should return the $arr[2]

$arr = array(0 =>         


        

Answer 1

A quick search for a phrase in the entire array might be something like this:

if (preg_match("/search/is", var_export($arr, true))) {
    // match
}
