Example #1 RecursiveRegexIterator::__construct() example
Creates a new RegexIterator that filters all strings that start with 'test'.
<?php
$rArrayIterator = new RecursiveArrayIterator(array('test1', array('tet3', 'test4', 'test5')));
$rRegexIterator = new RecursiveRegexIterator($rArrayIterator, '/^test/',
RecursiveRegexIterator::ALL_MATCHES);
foreach ($rRegexIterator as $key1 => $value1) {
if ($rRegexIterator->hasChildren()) {
// print all children
echo "Children: ";
foreach ($rRegexIterator->getChildren() as $key => $value) {
echo $value . " ";
}
echo "\n";
} else {
echo "No children\n";
}
}
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
No children Children: test4 test5
