@ Will Reiher :
Your function to check whether or not a string is in a simple array is not that good, here is why :
<?php
//your function :
$bool = stristr(implode(' ', $array), $word);
//note that the returned value is noot a boolean, it's false only when the word is not found
... anyway
//lets say i got an array :
$array = array("str","ing");
//and a string :
$word = "str ing";
//now with your "function" :
$result = stristr(implode(' ', $array), $word);
//the string is NOT present in the array BUT $result is NOT false
//so your function don't work as expected
?>
Thats why you better use in_array(); function.
