RE: [PHP] Searching a string or similar

This should be a better alternative: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strip-tags.php -----Original Message----- From: Bogdan Stancescu [mailto:mgv@fx.ro] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 11:14 AM To: Ash Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Searching a string or similar if (strpos("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = Javascript>",$input_string)===false) { echo("Yeah, right!"); exit; } You'll have a lot of problems, though, because 1. You also need to check for <script type="text/javascript">; 2. You have to strtolower() both strings in order to eliminate capitalization differences; 3. and the tougher: how do you check for this one: "<script language ='javascript' \t>", where "\t" is a tab character? And obviously all the possible combinations...
