To search for a specific string of text or code within a PHP script, you can use the strpos()
function. This function returns the position of the first occurrence of a string within another string, or FALSE
if the string is not found.
Here’s an example of how you can use strpos()
to search for a specific string of text within a PHP script:
$string = 'This is a string of text';
$search = 'text';
if (strpos($string, $search) !== false) {
echo 'The string was found';
} else {
echo 'The string was not found';
}
This code will search the $string
variable for the string 'text'
, and if it is found, it will output 'The string was found'
. If the string is not found, it will output 'The string was not found'
.
You can also use other functions like preg_match()
or str_contains()
to search for specific strings within a PHP script.
