Help with str or regex??

[Username:]

I want to make it so

 

if($message=="" . $cmdPrefx . "deleteall: "){
echo substr(strrchr($message, ' '), 1);

 

Doesn't use =="something"

 

How can I make it so anything after

deleteall: 

is a wildcard? I'm assuming using regex, but have no idea how

your if statement is incorrect

 

either do:

if($message ==  $cmdPrefx . "deleteall: "){
    echo substr(strrchr($message, ' '), 1);
}

 

 

or:

if($message ==  $cmdPrefx . "deleteall: ")
    echo substr(strrchr($message, ' '), 1);

 

How does this have to do with a wildcard or regex?

 

Edit

After reading it again I think i missread. Do you mean you want it to do a comparison on what the message starts with?

What exactly do you want the if statement to do?

Sorry for not being more clear

 

I want any text AFTER

 

"deleteall: "

 

to be selected.

 

So if $something = ">deleteall: Username:"

 

 

It will ignore ">deleteall: " and only select "Username:"

Theres couple of ways to achieve that... either use str_replace, str_pos & substr or regex... with str_replace it would look something like:

$something = ">deleteall: Username:";
$s = $cmdPrefx."deleteall: ";
$yourstring=str_replace($s, "", $something);

try

<?php
$message = '>deleteall: blah sasa';
$cmdPrefx = '>';
if(stripos($message, $cmdPrefx.'deleteall: ') === 0) echo substr(strchr($message, ' '), 1);
?>
