[SOLVED] Matching Terms.

foreach($this as $value)
{
if(ereg($_GET['search'], $value))
{
echo $value;
}
}

 

I do know that ereg is looking for an exact match, whereas eregi is case-insensitive ..but is there any php function you can use so it searches for the first exact match from left to right

 

example:

 

$_GET['search'] == 'An';

 

then

 

Andreas Franklin = TRUE;

 

and

 

Georg Antonio = FALSE;

 

Geesh, I hope that makes sense lol ...I'd appreciate it if anyone can help me with this. Thanks.

if(ereg("^".$_GET['search'], $value))

add ^ at the start
