how to use PREG_MATCH()

[andz]

hi everyone.

 

i have this file that i need to validate the content using preg_match.

 

$pregMatch = array('html', 'body', 'script', '<script>', '</script>');

 

$text = 'this is my text';

 

how do i put this on preg_match()?

Define validate.

i'd like to put it this way.

 

preg_match(in_array($pregMatch), $text);

 

but giving me an error.

You need to tell us what you mean by validate before we can even start showing you how to use preg_match

preg_match(in_array($pregMatch), $text);

Firstly, in_array() requires at least two parameters. If your looking to find the existence of a string within a string or a 'subString' then try this:

 

<?php
$content = 'this is my text';

$patterns = array('html', 'body', 'script', '<script>', '</script>');

foreach ($patterns as $value) {

   if (strstr($content, $value)) {
   
      echo "Found";

}

else {
   
     echo "Not Found";

}

?>
