check for a word in a string php code example

Example 1: php check if string contains word

$myString = 'Hello Bob how are you?';
if (strpos($myString, 'Bob') !== false) {
    echo "My string contains Bob";
}

Example 2: php chech if string contains

$a = 'How are you?';

if (strpos($a, 'are') !== false) {
    echo 'true';
}

Example 3: How do I check if a string contains a specific word?

$a = 'Hello world?';

if (strpos($a, 'Hello') !== false) { //PAY ATTENTION TO !==, not !=
    echo 'true';
}
if (stripos($a, 'HELLO') !== false) { //Case insensitive
    echo 'true';
}

Example 4: php find if substring is in string

$result = strpos("haystack", "needle");

if ($result != false)
{
  // text found
}

Example 5: if text contains word then in php

if (strpos($haystack,$needle) !== false) {
    echo "$haystack contains $needle";
}

Example 6: php check if string contains

// returns true if $needle is a substring of $haystack
function contains($haystack, $needle){
    return strpos($haystack, $needle) !== false;
}
