[SOLVED] Compare title and category name in wordpress

[coder500]

Can someone help me to figure out how to compare title and category name of a wordpress post...

 

For example if category name is "wordpress" and title is "Blogs with wordpress" I like to have an output "Match"

 

 

Thank you

if(str_pos($cat, $title))

{

//match

}

How we will get $cat and $title.

 

In wordpress, the_category() prints category name and the_title() prints the title

Hi coder500,

 

$cat = the_category();
$title = the_title();

if(str_pos($cat, $title))
{
//match
}

 

or:

 

if(str_pos(the_category(), the_title()))
{
//match
}

 

Hope this helps.

No it did not work. It simply displayed category name and the title.

 

I used strpos and not str_pos

Hi coder500,

 

Post the code you're using.

[coder500]

<?php if(strpos(the_category(), the_title()))

{

echo "match";

}

?>
