Note Submitter: ---- If you give a delimiter (or "glue") to implode() this because a little more robust. To use previous example with slight modification: $array2search = array("pat","ter","n"); $string = implode('|', $array2search); // now "pat|ter|n" if (strpos($string, "pattern" ) !== false) { // wont get here } Now, obviously if you search for strpos($string, "pat|ter|n"), you're going to have problems again... But using a delimiter like this should help avoid most if not all "unforseen" cases.
