find a?

[jwilson122]

Hey, What function / how would I find if a string has something? Say I have a string like:

$string = 'Hello their! This is my post  btw, my name is Justin.';

Say I wanted to find out if my name "Justin" is inside that string..

so:

whateverfunction('Justin', $string)

 

So I think you should get my idea now though

 

Thanks a lot!

stristr() is probably the simplest.

The functions strpos and strstr come to mind.

Oh ok thanks also! Will look into these as well

if(preg_match("\justin\im", $input)){

echo "match";

exit;

}

 

Something along that line; sorry if it's wrong, but I am off to get coffee now, but you get the idea..
