How do search array values and remove them based on a condition or string?

Question

Read the file names from the array.
Search the array value for the string "-dep" and if any string value contains "-dep", remove it.
Pass the array as as value to another array

.

for($d=0; $d < $files; ++$d)
{
    if(strpos($files[$d], "-dep") === true)
    {
      unset($files[$d]);
    }
}
return array($dnum, $fnum, $dirs, $files);

and the `strpos` should check for `>= 0` as it returns the index of the first match. — Dogbert, May 01 '13 at 18:40

I don't know if it is the best method for doing so but I would do this

foreach($array as $key=$value)
{
    if(strstr($value, '-dep'))
        unset($array[$key]);
}
