Find Word In Variable, Change Another Var To 1

How do I make it so if it finds the word News in a variable such as $text, it sets the $category variable to 1?

Thanks!

 

Try this:

if ( strpos( $text, "News" ) !== false ) $category = 1;

PHP:

Brew

 

Thanks! Is that case sensitive?

 

Yes it is. If you want it to be case insensitive use stripos()

Brew

 

According to the manual stripos() is php 5 only. If you are using php 4 use this code:

$SearchWord = 'news';
	
if ( preg_match( "/$SearchWord/i", $text ) ) $category = 1;

PHP:

Brew

 

Works now! Thanks!
