Hello there,

I can't figure out for the life of me, to get preg_match() to work with arrays for example (this is not my real code, just something im exampling with off the top of my head)

code:

---

$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$check_for = array('/test/', '/hello/');

if(preg_match($check_for, $comment)) {
echo "hello";
} else {
echo "nope";
}

---

code:

---

$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$check_for = array('/test/', '/hello/');

foreach ($check_for as $dt_sucks)
{
   if(preg_match($dt_sucks, $comment))
         echo "hello";
   else
         echo "nope";
}

---

Why, thank you segosa!

I checked the php site -dt- and I did indeed read that.

http://uk.php.net/preg_match :
Do not use preg_match() if you only want to check if one string is contained in another string. Use strpos() or strstr() instead as they will be faster.

pft, if he had bothered to look at the php.net page

http://php.net/preg_match he might have noticed that the signature says
