PHP 5.2: Filter array with multiple arguments performance

Question

I\'m using this code to filter a multidimensional array:

$sourceArray = array(
                array(\'name\'=>\'banana\', \'color\'=>\'green\'),
              


        

Answer 1

PHP 5.2 accepts the name of a callback in the array_filter function.

function filter($arr)
{
    $arrayToCompare = array('type'=>'fruits','has_name'=>'banana', 'has_color'=>'yelow');

    return $arr['name'] == $arrayToCompare['has_name']
          && $arr['color'] == $arrayToCompare['has_color'];
}

$filtered = array_filter($masterItems, 'filter');
