Simple string match from an array

[skiflyer]

I have an array of strings, I want to grab everyone of them which starts with the letter R, or Possibly with the letter R followed by a little information, I haven't decided yet.

This is a simple task with regex's and a simple foreach, but I seem to remember PHP having some built in tool that may be more appropriate (read faster), some kind of get_value(where value like R) type thing, maybe I'm just dreaming... but if not could someone tell me what I'm thinking about?
