Contains

[Anon]

How would I see if a word is contained in a script name?

for example.

if the $SCRIPT_NAME contains 'who'

so what I mean is I know that my page is called 'who_about.php'. so I want a piece of code that will determine whether the Script_Name contains the word 'who' in it.

This way I can display content based on what page I am looking at.

I believe the ereg function will solve your problem.

Dear Jeff,

Thanks for the info, however it is still not working. It said a faster way was to use preg_match. Here is my code:

if (preg_match($SCRIPT_NAME, "who")){
echo ("<td>test 1</td>");
}
else echo ("<td>test 2</td>");

Also, I just started php last week in PHP, but I need to get this done for work, that is why I am screwing up basic questions.

Thanks,
Philippe

One way of doing it is to use substr_count() to check that more than one ocurrence of 'who_' appears in the script_name variable.

For example:

$subString = "who_";

//echo "Script Name is : ".$SCRIPT_NAME."<br />";

if (substr_count($SCRIPT_NAME, $subString) >=1):
echo "$subString found!";
else:
echo "$subString NOT found!";
endif;

That will work. (I had trouble with preg_match not working too!) 🙂

Hope that helps,

Neil.

I recommend rereading the documentation for preg_match() again. To begin with, you've got it backwards.

Thanks, I will try it out next week and let you know how it worked.
