maybe I should do this some other way because I'm getting false positives.
I was using if(strpos($results['response'], 'APPROVED') !== false) {
And its found if the value of $results = 3434APPROVED34 and it also is
found if its $results = 3434APPOVED34, so this may not be the best way to
accomplish this.

Can you create a small list of actual values and their results.
What version of PHP are you using?

Re: [PHP] String eval assistance
I'm not sure as to why strpos does what it does here, at least its not
immediately obvious, but, a solution to this would be to use a regular
expression search, it would be more exact, it has never failed me, and it will
be faster; I recall reading that preg functions were faster at then str ones,
though I can't recall where...

Hello All,
I got some help on this yesterday, but somehow it's not consistant
?
$results = 3434approd34;
if(strpos($results['response'], 'APPROVED') !== false) {
print declined;
} else {
print approved;
}
?
The thing is I cant get a consistant response, if it has approved anywhere
in the results string, then it should be approved and if the results is
APPROVD without the E it shold be delined.
Am I doing something wrong.
Thanks!
Jack
Yes, you're doing something wrong. strpos() returns false if it can't find the
needle. You should be using if(strpos() === false) { declined; }
