standers

Recommended Posts

Can someone please tell me how for find more than one keyword in a string?I'm new at php so a little help would be greatly appreciated. I have read the php manual on strpos at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.phpbut I can't find out how to search a string for more than one word.<?php$mystring = 'pets';$findme = 'dog';$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);but I would like to have $findme = 'dog'; also search for cat, dog, birdthank you for any help you can provide.

If you want to find the first position for any of "cat", "dog" or "bird", then you can do three calls to strpos(), one for each, and then find out which result is the smallest (you could automate this using a loop). For more complex situations, maybe have a look at regular expressions.
