[SOLVED] PULLING MY HAIR OUT!!!

[fizix]

OK, all I want to do is match the string "%1" in regex. I've tried a million different ways but it's not working. Can anybody tell me how?
Thanks!

Try this:
[code]
<?php
$String = "My string contains %1";
if (preg_match('|\%1|', $String)) {
  // String contains your match
}
?>
[/code]

If you're trying to match a string that is static, like "%1" it is more efficient to use a string matching function than regex (I'll save you the explanation unless you're curious) so the following code would (theoretically) accomplish the task in less time.

[code]
<?php
if (strpos($String, '%1') !== false){
  // Match
}
?>
[/code]
