Re: hot to use perg_match with multi strign patern

Hello > $pos = strpos($mesage, "/(?:yes|no)/i"); When you use string functions don't specify a regular expression simply specifiy the word you are looking for. So in the above case you have to test two times 1. strpos($message, "yes") 2. strpos($message, "no") Depending on how many words you have to check this should be faster. Use regular expressions if you want to check for words that can not be expressed with a literal word. Be sure to test which is faster in your case strpos or preg_match. Regards Stefan Langer
