Array not working

$newSearchTheseArr begins in the for loop before that. My intention is to start a new definition of $searchTheseArr[$i] but the small words sorted out.

$searchTheseArr[$i]showed all the words and $newSearchTheseArr[$i] sorts out the small words.

    $j=0;
    //to sort out all words with length less than 4 like AND, OR, BUT...
    for ($i=0; $i < count($searchTheseArr); $i++){
        if(strlen($searchTheseArr[$i]) > 4){
            $newSearchTheseArr[$j] = $searchTheseArr[$i];
            //j renumbers the words of length 4 and up        
            $j++;
            }
        }
    //sql searches only length 4 and up
	$newSearchTheseArr = array(
		for ($j=0; $j < count($newSearchTheseArr); $j++){
			$query.=" CASE WHEN text_data LIKE '%" .$newSearchTheseArr[$j]. "%' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END";
			if($j!=count($newSearchTheseArr)-1){
				$query.=" +";
				}else{
				//removes the OR from the last line and replaces with the following    
				$query.= " > 3";
				}
			}
		);

PHP:

 

$newSearchTheseArr = array_filter($searchTheseArr, 'small_word');

function small_word($word)
{
    return strlen($word) > 4;
}

PHP:

www.php.net/array_filter

 

Ok. How about taking this into consideration?

$searchThese = "the who and but Moses flock Jethro father priest Midian flock backside desert mountain Horeb angel appeared flame midst looked behold burned consumed Moses aside great sight burnt";
$searchTheseArray = explode(' ', $searchThese);
print_r($searchTheseArray);

PHP:

 

Ok well. It seems that there was one phrase missing:

print_r($newSearchTheseArray);

PHP:

At the end:

$searchThese = "the who and but Moses flock Jethro father priest Midian flock backside desert mountain Horeb angel appeared flame midst looked behold burned consumed Moses aside great sight burnt";
$searchTheseArray = explode(' ', $searchThese);
print_r($searchTheseArray);
$newSearchTheseArray = array_filter($searchTheseArray, 'small_word');

function small_word($word)
{
    return strlen($word) > 4;
}
print_r($newSearchTheseArray);

PHP:

But I want it renumbered so that I can pass it through a For-loop.
This is what I get so far:

 

$newSearchTheseArray = array_values($newSearchTheseArray);

PHP:

... this will re-index it.
