    Search for a string in a variable---

    Is there a way to find a particular string in php.

    For example:

    I want php to echo "Found" if the word "sports" in found in this url http://yahoo.com/sports/soccer/index.html

    if not then it should echo "bad Luck"


    Is there any pre-defined function for this in php?


    Thanx
