Note Submitter: kiipa at live dot com ---- So I needed a function to check if a string contains a string. But that also works with arrays. And multidimensional arrays. Well commented, because I'm sharing the source I use this in. <?php private static $found; //Sees if a string contains another string, WORKS WITH 2D ARRAYS! Returns true or false. public static function strcont($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 static::strcont($haystack, $needle); } //when the needle is NOT an array: elseif(strpos($haystack, $needle) !== false) { //Set the bool to true (DO NOT CHANGE TO return true). IT WILL NOT WORK! static::$found = true; } } //Because we only set the bool if we found something we'll check if the bool is set. if(isset(static::$found)) { //Then return true. return true; } return false; } //If the needles is not an array (this function can be used as strpos...) else { if(strpos($haystack, $needles) !== false) { return true; } return falsE; } } ?>
