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
