if (strpos($string, $word) === FALSE) {
... not found ...
}
Note that strpos()
is case sensitive, if you want a case-insensitive search, use stripos()
instead.
Also note the ===
, forcing a strict equality test. strpos CAN return a valid 0
if the 'needle' string is at the start of the 'haystack'. By forcing a check for an actual boolean false (aka 0), you eliminate that false positive.
