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;

1. All functions in PHP are lowercase. Do not UPPERCASE your functions. Its Just Not Right. 2. You should always pass a full url (ie, with the scheme and host) to the Location header. 3. You need a space after Location: 4. There is no need for ."" at the end of your Location: string.
