Hmm... Are you sure strpos doesn't work for you? Sure worked for me when I
wanted something like that Otherwise, checkout following:
http://se2.php.net/strings
function instr($needle, $haystack,$case_sensitive=true)
{
return
(($case_sensitive?strpos($needle,$haystack):stripos($needle,$haystack))!==fa
lse);
}
try that, although, that's just from the top of my head, not tested or
anything and it's my pretty bad coding style...
also, take a look at ereg()...

Hi.
I don't know why but I've had the darndest time trying to find an easy
equivalent of asp's InStr() function in PHP. I know there is
preg_match(), strpos(), and strstr(), but none of them work like I want
them to.
In fact, except for maybe preg_match(), I can't get any of them to work
right.
I want a function that will return true if the string is found, and
false if it is not found.
Like this:*
$needle = "&";
$haystack = "Belle & Sebastian";
if(FoundInString($needle, $haystack))
{
echo "found!";
}
else
{
echo "not found!";
}
Anyone have a function to share?
Thanks,
Chris.
* Anyone catch the Belle & Sebastian show at the Greek Theatre in LA
this past sunday?
