$filter_test = array("Thundarr the Barbarian", "Cash and Treasure",
"Welcome
Back Kotter", "Amazing Race", "The Waltons");
$filter_title = array("Thundarr", "Cash", "Kotter");

foreach($filter_test as $valtest) {
foreach($filter_title as $val) {
if (preg_match("/\b$val\b/i", $valtest)) {
echo "MATCH '$val' ON '$valtest'\n";
} else {
echo "NO MATCH '$val' ON '$valtest'\n";
}
}
}

Now clearer?
