Match end of string

[TEENFRONT]

Hey

 

i have a string thats, example

 

$string = "Kick user XXXXXXXXXXXX";

 

XXXXXXXX  could be anything (in this case its a user ID but can be anything)

 

How can i see if string has "kick user" in it.

 

im using it in an if statement like this

 

if($message = "ban user" || $message == "kick user xxxxxxx")

 

but as said, the xxxx could be anything so it wont match.

 

any help?

Hey there,

 

You'll wanna take a look at the PHP strstr() function for this. I'm including a little code example to get you going, but the best resource for learning about the function is at:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strstr.php

 

<?php
// get last directory in $PATH
$text = "dude wheres my car user";
$test = "kick user dsdf3243221sad";

// get everything after last newline

if (strstr($test, "kick user"))
        echo "true";
   else
        echo "false";
?>

Perfect mate thanks!!

 

Erm, another quickie, how would i then pull userid from the string?

 

just explode() the spaces? then use $exploded[2] ? or is there a better way?

explode[2] would work alrite, or you could use some of the string functions and get rid of "kick user" leaving you the id...

 

what are you trying to do here?

 

might be an idea to store it in an array.. i.e.

$test[1] = "kick user";

$test[2] = "userID";

 

...?
