Default Filtering arrays based on an object attribute

Hi,

I have an array filled with a particular type of object, which
contains an attribute "m_level", of integer type. What I want is to
get a subset of the array whose "m_level" attribute is equal to zero.
Is there a short way I can do this other than iterating through a
foreach / for loop?

I'm using PHP 4.4.4.

Thanks, - Dave

Did you try the array_filter() function?

function filter_particular_type($array) {
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $item) {
if ($item->m_level == 0) {
$result[] = $item;
}
}
return $result;
}

// or

function callback_filter($item) {
return $item->m_level == 0;
}
array_filter($array, 'callback_filter');
