applying a function to each array element

Hello all -

I would like to use the is_numeric() function to check each element of
an array. I am just looking for a false if any element is not numeric,
or a true if each element is numeric.

Can I do this with a single function in a single like, or do I have to
do a foreach{ ... break() } structure?

You need to use a loop. is_numeric() will just return false on an
array, because the array is not a numeric value.

You can do so. But it may be more difficult to understand:

$result = (count(array_filter($arr, "is_numeric" ))=count($arr))

or try this:

$result = !in_array(false, array_map("is_numeric", $arr))
or try this:

Once declare r_is_numeric like this:

function r_is_numeric($logic, $element)
{
$logic = $logic and is_numeric($element);
return $logic;
}

All you need is:

$result = array_reduce($arr, "r_is_numeric", true);

array_walk will do the job.

My two cents:

function is_numeric_array(&$array){
foreach($array as $i){
if(!is_numeric($ic)){
return FALSE;
}
}
return TRUE;
}
