How can I check if a word is contained in another string using PHP?
I wish to have some PHP code to check if a certain number appears in a string of numbers, so for example how do I check if the number 7 appears in the number 3275?
I have tried strcmp but I can't work this one out :(
Try this code:
$pos = strrpos($mystring, "7");
if ($pos === false) { // note: three equal signs
// not found...
}
else{
//string found
}
Have a look at strpos; you can use it to find where a substring occurs in a string (and, by extension, whether it occurs). See the first example for how to do the check correctly.
strpos() is your friend, php is not strongly typed, so you can consider numbers as strings.
$mystring = 3232327;
$findme = 7;
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);
if ($pos === false) {
echo "The number '$findme' was not found in the number '$mystring'";
} else {
echo "The number '$findme' was found in the number '$mystring'";
echo " and exists at position $pos";
}
int strpos ( string $haystack , mixed $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] )
Find the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack string.
make sure you use " !== false" when comparing the return value to see if it exists (otherwise 7325 would return position 0 and 0 == false) - === and !== are compare value AND type (boolean vs integer)
Try like this
$phno = 1234567890;
$collect = 4;
$position = strpos($phno, $collect);
if ($position)
echo 'The number is found at the position'.$position;
else
echo 'Sorry the number is not found...!!!';
