Regular expressions are slow. If you need to do some fancy searches, then they
are pretty nice, but if you're just looking for a string in another string,
the stristr() function is faster. (easier to learn too!)

That's completely wrong. Well try this :
$string = "big fat fatty";
if (strpos($string, "big fat")) echo 'found';
else echo 'not found';
It will always return false, because strpos in this case r
stristr is another way www.php.net/stristr

Hey guys ... I am wondering if you have a varable named
$query_holder="the big fat cow made lots of milk today";
are you able to use the if command to see if the words "big fat" are part of
that phrase?
What would the syntax be?
