Adding regexp inside if statement?

[NaGGi]

I have following if statement:

 

if (  '$shipping_rate_id' == 'standard_shipping%7CMatkahuolto%7CMatkahuolto%7C6.90%7C3') {

 

Numbers in the end of that mess can change though and I'd like to write the if statement so that the numbers can change without giving problems. So is it possible to add regexp in there somehow? Or any other ideas how to code it?

Yes, use preg_match.

Uhm I'm a bit noob with PHP so how that should be coded there? Like if I just wanna check if that word 'Matkahuolto' is in that $shippin_rate_id variable it would echo something?

 

Edit:

 

Guess this works if those end numbers change:

 

if ( preg_match('/standard_shipping%7CMatkahuolto%7CMatkahuolto%7C....%7C./',$shipping_rate_id)) {

 

Looks crappy though.

Got it:

 

if ( preg_match('/^.*Matkahuolto.*$/',$shipping_rate_id)) {
