Hi all,
I have a little problem that I hope you can help me with.
I have the following strings:
$str1 = "Bob";
$str2 = "My Name Is Bob";
How can I get PHP to look for $str1 inside of $str2?
Also, what about if "Bob" inside of $str2 is in different places?
I would like something like:
if ($str1 IS INSIDE OF $str2) {
echo "str1 is inside of str2";
}
else {
echo "could not find str1 inside of str2";
}
Any ideas appreciated.
