Checking a string.

[MrXander]

Is there a way to see if a string contains a hash symbol? (#)

 

Basically, I want to make sure when people submit data via the textfield, they don't include a hash.

<?php
if (strpos($string, '#') !== false)
   echo "# not permitted";
else {
    // OK
    // process string
}
?>

if(strstr($string, '#')){
     echo "Got ya";
}

 

or u can definitely remove those unwanted '#' chars:

 

$string = 'this is some# text';
if(strstr($string, '#')){
     $string = str_replace('#', '', $string);
}
