PHP: find string
Search and detect the presence of a string inside another string using the strpos() command. This example from the php.net website:
code snippet:
<?php
$mystring = 'abc';
$findme = 'a';
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);
// Note our use of ===. Simply == would not work as expected
// because the position of 'a' was the 0th (first) character.
if ($pos === false) {
echo "The string '$findme' was not found in the string '$mystring'";
} else {
echo "The string '$findme' was found in the string '$mystring'";
echo " and exists at position $pos";
}
?>
sample output:
The string 'a' was found in the string 'abc' and exists at position 0
