Re: strpos with array?

Hi there, I am wondering if there is a function (I could not find) which does the same thing like strpos does, but with an array. For example:

    $replace = array("picture", "pics");
    $pos = strpos ($term, $replace);
    //if ($pos !== false) {

      if (in_array($term,$replace)) {

       $term = str_replace($replace, "", $term);
       echo 'term without the word:'.$term;
    }

http://www.php.net/in_array Actually this did not solve the problem, since this function is searching for the exact phrase, but not within a string.

I solved it that way: // try pictures $replace = array("pictures", "picture", "bilder", "bild", "pic", "pics", "pix"); foreach($replace AS $try){ $pos = strpos ($term, $try); if ($pos !== false) { $term = str_replace($try, "", $term); #echo 'yes'.$term.$pos; exit; HEADER("Location:/index.php?search_for=".$term.""); exit; } } Maybe it will be useful for somebody else.
