Or, you could just try strstr($haystack, $needle) ...

Hi,

use:
preg_match('/\Wgood\W/',$var);
or
preg_match('/\bgood\b/',$var);

I don't know exactly.

use regexps.  that's what their specialty is ;-)

// case insensitive
if ( preg_match("/$text/i", $string) ) {
print "$text is in $string";
}

// case sensitive
if ( preg_match("/$text/", $string) ) {
print "$text is in $string";
}

Re: [PHP] Check if a word is in my string.

2001-08-28 Thread daniel james 

if you're just looking for the 1st occurrence of the
string, it's--

$check = "good";
$var = "This is a good...";

if (!strstr($var, $check)) {
print("$check not found");
}

also, i think strstr() is case-insensitive, so it
won't be able to differentiate between 'Good' and
'good', and will NOT return FALSE if 'Good' precedes
'good' in the string...
