I am experimenting with finding popular keywords using curl, php and regular expressions. I have an array of non-specific nouns that I am matching my keyword search up. So I am looking for words like "the", "and", "that" etc. and taking them out of the keyword search.

so I have an array of words like so:

$wordArr = [the, and, at,....];

and then running something like:

&& preg_match('(\bmyword\w*\b)', $key) == false

how do I combine these two so it loops through the array finding out if any of the words in the array match the regular expression?

I guess I could just do a for loop, but though maybe I could use in_array($wordArr, $key).. or something like that.
