PHP Contains Keyword

[Anon]

I have a database field that has a list of stuff that looks like the following (car, keys, watch, wallet). I have an HTML form with different checkboxes that say Car, keys, etc. If that value is in the field in the database, I want to place a checkmark in the checkbox. In Coldfusion you can use the CONTAINS keyword....<CFIF #datafield# CONTAINS "keys">checked</CFIF>. How do I do this in PHP? I have checked all my manuals and not found an answer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

The following will work similarly to your CF code:

&lt;?= (substr_count($datafield, "keys") &gt; 0) ? "checked" : ""; ?&gt;

Basically it says that if "keys" appears in the string $datafield more than zero times, to print "checked", and otherwise print nothing ("").
