Examples

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
