find character in string

[nikko50]

How do I tell if a hypen "-" is in a string?

[scrupul0us]

$string = "testing - in string";

if (strpos($string,"-"))
{
echo "- found";
}
else
{
echo "- not found";
}

More accurately:

$string = "testing - in string";

if (strpos($string,"-") !== false)
{
    echo "- found";
}
else
{
    echo "- not found";
}

The reason is that if the dash is the first character in the string, strpos() will return 0, which will evaluate to false.
