note 63885 added to function.quotemeta

I wanted a function that tells if any string is contained inside another one, with a case insensitive comparison, but my web space provider is still using PHP4 so I don't have access to function stripos, which is only available in PHP5. So, I wrote this: function theFirstStringIsInsideTheSecondOne($first,$second) { return eregi(quotemeta($first), $second); } quotemeta is used here to prevent interpretation of special regex characters. ---- Server IP: 195.221.21.36 Probable Submitter: 84.7.13.193 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.quotemeta.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/63885 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63885/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63885/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63885/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63885/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63885/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63885/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/63885 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/63885 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
