How to Find a Character in a Variable

[NoMansLand]

Hello,

 

I am trying to find a character in my DB's.

 

The DB has the data setup with +(number) & -(number)

 

I want to try and find a way for PHP to seperate them into two so each one has the seperate colour's.

 

i have tried preg_match, strstr & strpos but none of them seem to work.

 

Can you as PHP Genius's help out?

 

EDIT:

 

Please Do Not Worry, I have fixed this.

 

For people who were wondering:

 

$new_variable = strstr($variable_to_check, "+");

if($new_variable == "") {

do one you want

} else {

do what you want.

}

 

Thanks PHP Freaks

 

Thanks,
