Here is an easy way to test whether a string contains something. It is a function named "contains": function contains($mystring, $findme) { $pos = strpos($mystring, $findme); if ($pos === false) { return false; } else { return true; } } Usage Example: if ( contains($string, '@') ) { echo "The string contains an @."; } As other users mentioned below, this may not work if the "findme" is at 0 position.
