preg_match problem

[scialom]

Hi,

I have these vars:
$query = "cyan";
$line = "91. <a title="href=http://www.cyanstudio.com/><b>CYAN</b>STUDIO.COM </a><br>";

now I try to find if cyan is in the title string. So I do it like this:
preg_match('$query', $line, $matches);
but then I get this error:
Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash

Any ideas?

thanks!

$query = "/cyan/";

However, for such a simple match, something like strpos will likely be faster:

$query = "cyan";
if(strpos($line, $query) !== FALSE)
{
   // found it
}
