PHP Guys - Help
 

I'm trying to spit out some poor code and am curious if I can improve my method.

In a funciton, I'm searching a string for several different strings. If it is found, I want to return "Found".

$valxx=in_string("variable1",$input);
if ($valxxhahahaha"true") { $returnval="Found"; return($returnval); }

$valxx=in_string("variable2",$input);
if ($valxxhahahaha"true") { $returnval="Found"; return($returnval); }

$valxx=in_string("variable3",$input);
if ($valxxhahahaha"true") { $returnval="Found"; return($returnval); }

$valxx=in_string("variable4",$input);
if ($valxxhahahaha"true") { $returnval="Found"; return($returnval); }


Is there any way I can load the "variable1,variable2" into an array and do it in a single statement?

Thanks

can you write it without the 'hahahaha' crap somehow?

post your icq

The hahah stuff is just '=true' with double equals.

Asher, I hit you up on your ICQ.

Still waiting...

$input = 'this input contains variable1...';
$array = array('variable1', 'variable2', 'variable3');

if(preg_match('/'.implode('|', $array).'/', $input)) { echo "Found"; }





That is it :-)
