[RESOLVED] using lists/arrays with strpos

[scrupul0us]

is it valid to use a list or array of values in strpos to determine if a list of words or characters appears in a string?

if not, whats the proper way?

Either do a foreach loop on your array of values until strpos() finds a match, or you could use a regexp:

if(preg_match('/foo|bar|fubar/i', $string)
{
   // found a match in $string for at least one of those 3 words
}
