Note Submitter: ---- vincents in_str function will work most of the time, but will fail under circumstances, most notably when working with string '0' (zero) consider this: <?php $needle = '0'; $haystack = '1234567890'; if (in_str($haystack, $needle)) { echo "The haystack contains $needle"; } ?> you can clearly see that string 0 is definately in haystack, but the function will return false. a faster, and failproof way would be <?php if (false !== strpos($haystack, $needle) { // we found it } // case insesnitive version if (false !== stripos($haystack, $needle) { // we found it, case insesitive. } ?> this is written on the strpos() page http://php.net/strpos and mentioned on the strstr() page http://php.net/strstr
