preg_match

[Kingy]

What i really want is something like

 

<?php

$string = "hi ";
if(preg_match("', $string)) {
echo "Found Smiley";
} else {
echo  "Smiley not Found";
}
?>

 

i no that the preg_match function above is wrong, how would i go about doing something like this properly?

[teng84]

if(stristr(" hi ",'')){
echo 'found smily';
}else{
echo 'found nothTENG';
}

 

string are better

[Mirkules]

<?php

$string = "hi ";
if(preg_match('/:\)/', $string)) {
echo "Found Smiley";
} else {
echo  "Smiley not Found";
}
?>
