Re: Best way to check for some certain text in a string

If you don't need regexps, use strpos. Make sure you read the documentation though - if $nav->userAgent starts with "search for this", your code will return false. Bogdan José Jeria wrote:

I want to find a certain text in a string and i want it to return me a boolean. What is the best thing to do this?

a) ereg("search for this", $string);                            // returns

int(1) if true, bool(false) if not

b) strpos($nav->userAgent, "search for this") > 0    // gives me a boolean

directly Any tips of which one I should use? /José Jeria
