preg_match inside in_array??

[Anon]

The function in_array() is case-sensitive and searches for whole
strings only.

Therefore, if you search the array

$haystack = array("first", "second",
"third");

using

$result = in_array($needle, $haystack);

you will get a TRUE $result for

$needle = "first";
$needle = "second";
$needle = "third";

but a FALSE $result for

$needle = "First";
$needle = "sec";
$needle = "ird";

Any workarounds? Can I somehow use preg_match insode in_array to overcome my problem?

Tanks.
