it’s cool but it can result only one.
what can i do to get all find results.
for example in
“hello. i am a php developer. i am darklord”
when i serach
“i am”
there are 2 in this paragraph.

You, are, Legend.

Exactly the last piece to my puzzle!

Was struggling to write a “if .co.uk is in string then..” statement.

print “Yup! i found it.”;
}

yeah, I don’t know why PHP net always has the complicated jibba jabba when dummies like myself use that site as well. I searched high and low for about ten minutes just now until you solved my problem in laymens terms. Thanks!

Hi,

I have used the original method since it allows me to execute certain code based upon found or not found criteria. This article was very helpfull to me.

Thanks

Here’s another way to get the same result:

$string = “PHP”;
$container = “I love writing PHP code.”;

echo (strstr($container,$string)?”found it.”:”not found.”);
