strpos() - Replacing a multiple line string

[a1amattyj]

Hello,

 

This is my code:

 

$pos = strpos($contents, $find);

if ($pos === false) 
{
$page->output_fail("Could Not Parse String", "Theme could not be parsed because the string could not be found. <br />It may already have been parsed. Manually Parse?");
$page->output_manual_parse($find,  $replace, $contents, $dest);

}

 

Now the problem is, when i use this function when  $find has multiple lines, it comes back as false ($find is taken from a mysql database).

 

For example,

 

$find = " single lined";
##It will work

 

If

 

$find = "firstline
second line";
##It will not work

 

$contents does have both of these strings, i have checked!

 

Thanks!

replace the newline with space.

$a = preg_replace("/\n/"," ",$find);

then continue your checking.
