Hi.
I don't know why but I've had the darndest time trying to find an easy
equivalent of asp's InStr() function in PHP. I know there is
preg_match(), strpos(), and strstr(), but none of them work like I want
them to.
In fact, except for maybe preg_match(), I can't get any of them to work
right.
I want a function that will return true if the string is found, and
false if it is not found.
Like this:*
$needle = "&";
$haystack = "Belle & Sebastian";
if(FoundInString($needle, $haystack))
{
echo "found!";
}
else
{
echo "not found!";
}
Anyone have a function to share?
Thanks,
Chris.
