.josh Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 if it's a simple string within a string (no pattern) you can use strstr or stristr Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165868-php-string-question/#findComment-874905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldougherty Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 There are several different PHP string functions that you could use to do this. Another would be stripos http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.stripos.php I suggest familiarizing yourself with the PHP string functions http://us2.php.net/manual/en/book.strings.php Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165868-php-string-question/#findComment-874906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newb Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 so which one? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/165868-php-string-question/#findComment-874910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 They all look for a string within a string, but with slightly different behaviors. Read the manual entries for them and decide which one best suits your needs.
