the best you can do is:
<?php
$a = "this has php in the string";
if( ! ereg("php", $a ) )
{ print "a: not in string"; }
$a = "this has in the string";
if( ! ereg("php", $a ) )
{ print "b: not in string"; }
?>

Subject: [PHP] regular expression for (NOT 'word')
how would i build a regular expression in php that would match
everything but the given word. For example, match the string only if
there isnt a word 'php' in the string.
I understand i can list characters i dont want to see in the string:
[^php].
but this means there cant be any p or h in the string. And ^(php) checks
if the string starts with 'php'.
How should i do it?
