This question already has an answer here:
I'm writing a PhP script, but for a filter I need to search for a string in a string.
this is the script I have at the moment:
<?php
$stringtocheck = "Schiphol-Almere C./Hilversum/Utrecht C.";
$searchfor = "Hilversum";
// do the magic stuff over here
?>
How do i get the script to search for '$searchfor' in '$stringtocheck'?
</div>
Use strpos
for to find the needle-string in the haystack-string. And here the haystack-string is stringtocheck
and the needle-string is searchfor
.
Example of using the function:
<?php
$stringtocheck = "Schiphol-Almere C./Hilversum/Utrecht C.";
$searchfor = "Hilversum";
if(strpos($stringtocheck, $searchfor) !== false)
echo true;
?>
