If includes

[atech]

Hello,
I am trying to do an if statement if a text fields includes a certain line of text.

For example

if ($data INCLUDES 'My name is Jim') {
print $data1
}
else {
print $data2
}

Consider [man]strpos/man

Your trying to do that are you? Well done 🙂 is your question supposed to be "how can I do this?" then try what laserlight suggested.

It seems to me like this is a long way around this problem. Surely there's an easier way?

$pos = strpos($data, "My name is Jim");

if ($pos === true) {
   echo $data1;
} else {
   echo data2;
}

I've already done it - thank you laserlight.

COUGH

Oh and if a problem is solved I have learnt from a vb forum that changin the topic title with [solved] at the end makes things easy for browsers lookin to help people. Just a suggestion.

Clicking "Mark Thread Resolved" at the bottom is also a good alternative. 😉
