note 113911 added to function.strpos

Don't know if already posted this, but if I did this is an improvement. This function will check if a string contains a needle. It _will_ work with arrays and multidimensional arrays (I've tried with a > 16 dimensional array and had no problem). <?php function str_contains($haystack, $needles) { //If needles is an array if(is_array($needles)) { //go trough all the elements foreach($needles as $needle) { //if the needle is also an array (ie needles is a multidimensional array) if(is_array($needle)) { //call this function again if(str_contains($haystack, $needle)) { //Will break out of loop and function. return true; } return false; } //when the needle is NOT an array: //Check if haystack contains the needle, will ignore case and check for whole words only elseif(preg_match("/\b$needle\b/i", $haystack) !== 0) { return true; } } } //if $needles is not an array... else { if(preg_match("/\b$needles\b/i", $haystack) !== 0) { return true; } } return false; } ?> ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 72.52.91.14 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/113911 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113911/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113911/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113911/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113911/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113911/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113911/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/113911 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/113911 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
