RegexIterator::__construct() example

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

<?php
$arrayIterator = new ArrayIterator(array('test 1', 'another test', 'test 123'));
$regexIterator = new RegexIterator($arrayIterator, '/^test/');

foreach ($regexIterator as $value) {
    echo $value . "\n";
}
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

test 1
test 123
