manipulating array to use in different contex - php

Question

I am using regex to match pattern. Then pushing matched result using pushToResultSet. In both way of doing, would $resultSet have similar array content? Similar means not
insense of value, but format. I want to use 2nd way in alternative to 1st code.
UPDATE: Example with sample input http://ideone.com/lIaP49
foreach ($words as $word){
$pattern = '/^(?:\((\+?\d+)?\)|(\+\d{0,3}))? ?\d{2,3}([-\.]?\d{2,3} ?){3,4}/';
preg_match_all($pattern, $text, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE );
$this->pushToResultSet($matches);
}
return $resultSet;
Now I am doing this in another way and pushing array in similar way. As $matches is array and here $b is also array, I guess both code are similar
$b = array();
$pattern = '/^(?:\((\+?\d+)?\)|(\+\d{0,3}))? ?\d{2,3}([-\.]?\d{2,3} ?){3,4}/';
foreach ($test as $value)
{
$value = strtolower($value);
// Capture also the numbers so we just concat later, no more string substitution.
$matches = preg_split('/(\d+)/', $value, 0, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY | PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
if ($matches)
{
$newValue = array();
foreach ($matches as $word)
{
// Replace if a valid word number.
$newValue[] = (isset($arrwords[$word]) ? $arrwords[$word] : $word);
}
$newValue = implode($newValue);
if (preg_match($pattern, $newValue))
{
$b[] = $value;
$this->pushToResultSet($b);
}
}
}
//print_r($b);
return $resultSet;
UPDATE
ACtual code which I want to replace out with 2nd code in the question:
<?php
class Phone extends Filter{
function parse($text, $words)
{
$arrwords = array(0=>'zero',1=>'one',2=>'two',3=>'three',4=>'four',5=>'five',6=>'six',7=>'seven',8=>'eight',9=>'nine');
preg_match_all('/[A-za-z]+/', $text, $matches);
$arr=$matches[0];
foreach($arr as $v)
{
$v = strtolower($v);
if(in_array($v,$arrwords))
{
$text= str_replace($v,array_search($v,$arrwords),$text);
}
}
//$resultSet = array();
$l = strlen($text);
foreach ($words as $word){
$pattern = '/^(?:\((\+?\d+)?\)|(\+\d{0,3}))? ?\d{2,3}([-\.]?\d{2,3} ?){3,4}/';
preg_match_all($pattern, $text, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE );
//print_r($matches);
}
//print_r($matches);
$this->pushToResultSet($matches);
return $resultSet;
}
}

Answer 1

After running both codes, run PHP's var_dump function on the output variables.
If the printed output matches for your definition of similar array content, then your answer is yes. Otherwise, your answer is no.
