Search some text using an array

[Anon]

Hi -
I am trying to search some free text ($text) with different sentences specified within an array ($array) so if $text contains any of the $array values the script will do one thing but if not it will do another.

I have tried using:

//**array***
$errors = array(
"small fish",
"fat cats",
"ugly dogs");

//**fuction***
function checkit($error){

if (eregi($data,$error)) {
$result = "1";
}
else {
$result = "2";
}
echo ("$result");
}

//**call to function***
array_walk($errors, checkit);

One problem that I can see is that checkit is not passed into array_walk as a string. According to the manual, it should be:

array_walk($errors, 'checkit');

I suggest doing it this way.

1. implode the array that contains the sentences (use <b>implode()</b> function)
2. user <b>ereg()</b> or <b>eregi()</b> to match $text in a string
