eval for filtering values containing search in multidimensional array

I was trying to create a function for filtering LIKE values in multiple columns of multidimensional array. I tried to loop through the array of column names to create a strpos function but in string format. When I used eval to run the imploded string of code, I received error "Unexpected end of file, eval d'code on line xx".



I don't understand the problem. Here is the function:



public function ArrayFilterLike($array, $filter, $search){
$result = ;
foreach ($filter as $key => $value) {
$filter[$key] = "strpos($data['$value'], $search) !== false";
}

$filter = implode(" || ", $filter);

foreach ($array as $data) {
if(eval($filter)){
$result = $data;
}
}

print_r($result);
}

    i see no reason to use eval here.

  • Remove the quotes around the value of $filter, remove eval, and you'll be set.

  • I can't make the imploded strpos function to work. Can someone show me the actual solution? Will be greatly appreciated.
