[PHP] stristr query trouble

2010-05-13 Thread Ron Piggott 


I am not understanding why 'true' isn't the result of this syntax because
$subjects equals:

$subjects = Delivery Status Notification(Failure);

Here is my syntax:

if ( stristr( $subjects, Delivery Status Notifcation(Failure) ) ) {
$TIRSFlag = true; 
echo true;
}

You have misspelled 'Notification' in your comparison ...

You should probably use Regular Expressions for this kind of thing.

Best of luck,

Notification is misspelled. Next time copy and paste the comparison 
string or use regular expressions to be more safe.


Kind regards

Regexes are best used when what you need to match is dynamic or in a
dynamic string. When you know what the output will be and can match
it, the str* functions are much better as they are much more
efficient.

[PHP] stristr

2004-02-01 Thread Liam 
I've been trying to make this error logger for hours now,

I get my webserver to forward all errors to error.php?message=404 etc.. 

The source can be found here
http://the-bronze.me.uk/ID/error.txt

Now Im at my wits end, I want all errors that come internaly eg from the-bronze.me.uk 
to be put into onserver.txt and all other ones to be put into 404.txt 

Unfortuantly I seem to be a little lost and confusded, can anyone see where im going 
wrong as far as my stristr(); usage is and if so what is the problem?

One useful diagnostic method is:

  $match = stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],'the-bronze');
  echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] br $match;
