Re: Fastest way to find out if a string contains a certain character?

Thanks, both of you. Using strpos saved me 200ms. It wasn't really that I expected to save a lot of time, more that I was interested to know so that I do the right thing in the future, since the meaning of the code is not clearer using one way or the other (i.e. I have to write a comment either way). And yes, I'd already realised using regex was a bad idea :)
