strpos question...

[toshog]

hi all,
i have a little trouble with strpos().
i'm using it to check if the stingA is conatined in the stringB like this (on this server stripos() doesn't work?!? php 4.2)

if( strpos(strtoupper($stringB),strtoupper(trim($stringA))) )

the problem is that if stringB is a frase of 2 or more words and stringA is the first word it returns false....
i also tryed:

if( (strpos(strtoupper($stringB),strtoupper(trim($stringA)))) === 1 )

but that doesn't work at all...

how should i make it find the first word?

thanks...

Use (strpos(whatever) === false) to detect when no matches have occurred.

i've been reading that page the last half hour - i need "true" not "false"....

and i found the solution => very easy....

if(__strpos(strtoupper('x'.$stringB),strtoupper(trim($strin
gA)))_)
