After filtering, check if array is not empty after filtering or has all original values; like Javascript's some() and every()

JavaScript has the concept of array checker functions some and every, basically checking if a condition applies to either at least one or all elements of an array.

function isBiggerThan10(element, index, array) {
  return element > 10;
}

[2, 5, 8, 1, 4].some(isBiggerThan10);  // false
[12, 5, 8, 1, 4].some(isBiggerThan10); // true

Is there an equivalent way for php?

Now you can use them like you'd expect

echo (int) array_any(function($x) { return $x > 5; }, [1,2,3]); // 0
echo (int) array_any(function($x) { return $x > 5; }, [1,9,3]); // 1

echo (int) array_all(function($x) { return $x > 5; }, [5,6,7]);  // 0
echo (int) array_all(function($x) { return $x > 5; }, [6,7,8]);  // 1

@ggorlen suggests switching on truthy values provided by the callback. All values in PHP are considered true except the following:

Watch out for NAN, it is considered true.

function array_any(callable $f, array $xs) {
  foreach ($xs as $x)
    if (call_user_func($f, $x) == true) // truthy
      return true;
  return false; 
}

function array_all(callable $f, array $xs) {
  foreach ($xs as $x)
    if (call_user_func($f, $x) == false) // truthy
      return false;
  return true; 
}

Remember: programming isn't magic. Different languages offer different native features/functionality, but that doesn't always mean you're stuck when you find your language is "missing" something.

Taking on the challenge of implementing these things on your own can be fun and rewarding.

function array_any(callable $f, array $xs) {
  foreach ($xs as $x)
    if (call_user_func($f, $x) === true)
      return true;
  return false; 
}

function array_all(callable $f, array $xs) {
  foreach ($xs as $x)
    if (call_user_func($f, $x) === false)
      return false;
  return true; 
}
