<para>
<function>array_filter</function> iterates over each value in
the <parameter>input</parameter> array passing them to the
<parameter>callback</parameter> function. If the <parameter>
callback</parameter> function returns true, the current
value from <parameter>input</parameter> is returned into the
result array. Array keys are preserved.

<para>
Users may not change the array itself from the callback
function. e.g. Add/delete an element, unset the array that
<function>array_filter</function> is applied to. If the array
is changed, the behavior of this function is undefined.
</para>
<para>
If the <parameter>callback</parameter> function is not supplied,
<function>array_filter</function> will remove all the entries of
<parameter>input</parameter> that are equal to &false;. See <link
linkend="language.types.boolean.casting">converting to boolean</link>
for more information.
