RecursiveRegexIterator::__construct() example

Creates a new RegexIterator that filters all strings that start with 'test'.

<?php
$rArrayIterator = new RecursiveArrayIterator(array('test1', array('tet3', 'test4', 'test5')));
$rRegexIterator = new RecursiveRegexIterator($rArrayIterator, '/^test/',
    RecursiveRegexIterator::ALL_MATCHES);

foreach ($rRegexIterator as $key1 => $value1) {

    if ($rRegexIterator->hasChildren()) {

        // print all children
        echo "Children: ";
        foreach ($rRegexIterator->getChildren() as $key => $value) {
            echo $value . " ";
        }
        echo "\n";
    } else {
        echo "No children\n";
    }

}
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

No children
Children: test4 test5
