[SOLVED] How do i check if a "(" char is in a string?

[JJohnsenDK]

Hey

 

Im trying to check if a "(" char is in a string, but i get this error:

 

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending matching delimiter ')' found in C:\wamp\www\katrinelund\maincore.php on line 1218

 

What am i doing wrong?

 

 

<?php
if(preg_match("(", $str)){
    do something
}else
    do something else
}
?>

Only use regex when the standard string functions will not do the job so:

if(strstr($str, "(")) {
// do whatever
}
