Search string

[shailen]

hi there,
I want to perform a string search which has a space between them. For example, if am searching for all companies in Los Angeles, then the query only generates the query address=Los instead of address=Los Angeles. The query omits all characters after the space. How can I sort this out? Please help.

Thanking you in advance.

regards

Shailen

Try
<?php
if(ereg("(.)Los Angeles(.)",$string)){
echo 'Los Angeles FOUND!';
};
?>

Gr.

Ouch, why not just

if(strpos('Los Angeles',$string)!==false)
{...}

But it sounds like these are coming from a SELECT entity in an HTML form, yes?

Are you being nice and putting quotes around all your attributes like a good HTML coder should?

<select name="city">
<option value="New York">New York</option>
<option value="San Francisco">San Francicsco</option>
<option value="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</option>
<option value="Milwaukee">Milwaukee</option>
</select>
