This is pretty basic but not obvious if you're new to regx. If you want to search for both single characters and strings try this: // Single Characters: abc // Enclose inside [] // String1: http:// // Enclose inside () // String2: com // Enclose inside () // // Separate sections with | // $haystack="http://www.whatever.com"; if (eregi("([abc])|(http://)|(com)", $haystack)) { echo true; } else { echo false; } ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 67.9.131.9 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71386 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71386/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71386/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71386/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71386/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71386/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71386/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71386 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71386 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
