Give this a try

 

<?php 

$str = array("apple is red", "banana is yellow", "pineaple is tropical fruit", "coconut is also tropical fruit", "grape is violet");

foreach ($str as $phrase){
   if (strstr($phrase, 'coconut')) $coconut = $phrase;
   if(isset($coconut)) break;
}

echo $phrase;

?>

Your welcome I did make a mistake though.

 

In my code, change

echo $phrase;

 

To

echo $coconut;

 

$coconut

is the variable that will hold the correct phrase.

I know this is an old topic, but I just found and wish to reply on it.

 

The code works for my great, but I have a question.

 

- What if the array has multiple of the same string. How can I display them all?

 

Thanks
