how does one look for a string with an array? like array -> california ->nevada  in a string. Basically I want to be able to search a string for us states, and if a state is found I can echo the state or have it as its own variable.

 

any ideas?

To find if something is in a string you can use strpos(). You may also find strlen() useful for extracting the text from the string.
