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.”);

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!

Thanks a lot!

Frank says:

ok, is there a way to search in string for several item previously collected in a array

for example

stristr($haystack,$array_needle)

Johannes says:

You should note that your code returns 0 (ie. the equivalent to false) if the needle is found in the very beginning of the haystack (position 0). To prevent this, use strict comparison:

if(strstr($container,$string) === false) {
echo “found it.”;
} else {
echo “not found.”;
}
