It is strictly less useful than the first. Is this something you are still interested in? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-26 00:00:36] anon at example dot com Description: ------------ I think strpos would be greatly improved if the needle could be an array - much like preg_match, but without needing the complication of regex. The only way around this atm is a foreach loop. Reproduce code: --------------- Code 1 - currently foreach(array('searchterm1', 'searchterm2') as $needle) if(strpos($haystack, $needle) !== FALSE) return strpos($haystack, $needle); Code 2 - why isn't this allowed? strpos($haystack, array('searchterm1', 'searchterm2')) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48391&edit=1
