That's completely wrong. Well try this : $string = "big fat fatty"; if (strpos($string, "big fat")) echo 'found'; else echo 'not found'; It will always return false, because strpos in this case returns 0 (because the searched text is at position 0) so the IF statement will never pass. The corrected version of the code above : if (strpos($string, "big fat")!==false) echo 'found'; else echo 'not found'; Regular Expressions are always a better and more elegant solution so take a look at www.php.net/preg These were my 0,02$ -- Josip Dzolonga http://josip.dotgeek.org jdzolonga[at]gmail.com
