Error on a string

[crash3909]

Hi,

I am getting an error on a string. The error is:

Wrong parameter count for strstr()...

The string is:

if ($Work1 == "File1"){
$name = "www";
if(strstr($name)){

        blah blah blah

}
}

Can anyone tell me what this means?

I am basically trying to identify if someone is entering a URL in the field by it reading the www. I know you can get to some sites without the www, but this criteria is good enough for my purposes.

Thanks...

You're not getting an error on a string, you're getting an error on your call to strstr.

In particular, you're passing it the wrong number of parameters. I know that, because that's exactly what the error message says. How much more clear could it be? :rolleyes:

Yeah... OK... that's one for the DUH file. What I am really trying to do (and I do not know how to do it) is:

(without exact code first)
say... if ($Work1 == "File1") and $Piece1 contains the string "www" ... then it should do something.

What I have that does not work is:
if ($Piece1 .= "www" && $Work1 == "File1"){
do something
}

Can you help out with this one? Much appreciated. Thanks.🙂

I'm gonna help you out casue you seem to be new at this

www.php.net/strstr

Follow that link and read the description in the manual.

Copied and pasted from that link:

string strstr ( string haystack, string needle)

you search for a needle in a haystack, that means the needle in your case is 'www' and the haystack (or the place you are searching) is $Piece1

so the format for this is strstr($Piece1, 'www')

Now put that in an if statement

if (($Work1 == 'File1') && (strstr($Piece1, 'www'))) {
   // do something
}
