php strpos array
March 26, 2009 – 07:57I needed a PHP function to check whether a string contained one of the array values. As we know strpos does’t accept input as an array so I had to tweak it bit. Below is an example of what I did:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | function strpos_array($string, $values) { $hits = 0; //will give number of values found in a string foreach ($values as $try) { $pos = strpos($string, $try); if ($pos !== false){ $hits++; // you can do array_push here to get the values } } if ($hits==0) { //if none value from array was found returns false return false; } else { //I just needed a simple true/false boolean return true; } } |
