This can be done with preg_grep oneliner:

print_r(preg_grep('/in/', $londonCalling));

`preg_grep` is the correct choice. Finding "the word" would be `/\bin\b/` (word boundary) – Pinke Helga Dec 16 '18 at 12:10

alternatively array_filter

$res = array_filter($londonCalling , function($e){
    return strpos($e, 'in') !== false;
});

print_r([$res]);
