This function allows you to use regular expressions to search the array:

<?php
function preg_array($pattern, $array)
{
  $match = 0;
	foreach ($array as $key => $value)
		{
		  if (preg_match($pattern, $value))
		  	{
		  	  $match = 1;
		  	  break; 
		}
	}
 return ($match == 1) ? true : false;
}
?>

An example:

<?php
$colors = array('red', 'green', 'blue');

if (preg_array("/green/i", $colors)) {
echo "Match found!";
}
else {
echo "Match not found!";
}
?>
