parsing words

I have an array and I want to fetch it and get each values that starts
with "col" in the array and do something with them, how can I do that?

I noticed that Message-ID:

For each value in the array use substr() to see if the first three
letters =="col"

array_filter() or even better, array_keys() with optional value.

let $array be your array

foreach ($array as $i => $value) {
$line = $array[$i];
$tok = strtok($string," \n\t");
if($tok == "col")
do something
}
