Subject: [PHP] searching an array for words starting with 'p'

Hi there,

I am wondering how to search an array for words starting with a certain
character.

E.G:

$word = array('alpha', 'beta', 'php');

I would like to check if there is a word in the array starting with p

Is there alrready a function for this?

Thanx, Andy
