[SOLVED] search a word in a string

[ravi181229]

Hi there,

I want to search a word in a string.

In my application, user will post embed link. I will fetch 'site names' from database and search database value (site names) in the user posted values(embed link).

 

for example:

$word = "abcd.com";

$string = "<embed src="abcd.com" width="550" height="400"></embed>";

 

I want to search $word in $string.

 

Need help.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Ravi

So you're just tring to find out if $word is in $string? Use strpos:

 

<?php
$word = "abcd.com";
$string = '<embed src="abcd.com" width="550" height="400"></embed>';
if(strpos($string,$word) !== FALSE){
echo $word.' occurs in the string';
}else{
echo $word.' does not occur in the string';
}
?>
