I would strongly recommend that you use regular expressions instead of strlen, strstr, strpos and
friends at all times if at all possible. Trust me, the few hours you spend on learning regular
expressions will save you ten-fold that time in writing code, plus it'll probably be less
buggy.
http://www.regular-expressions.info/ is a great
starting point.
If you're a Mac user, use http://reggyapp.com/ to tweak your
regular expressions until they correctly match your test data. I'm sure there are similar tools
for Windows.
