stristr query trouble
in [General]
|
From: Ron Piggott on 13 May 2010 00:01 I am not understanding why 'true' isn't the result of this syntax because $subjects equals: $subjects = "Delivery Status Notification(Failure)"; Here is my syntax: if ( stristr( $subjects, "Delivery Status Notifcation(Failure)" ) ) { $TIRSFlag = true; echo "true"; }

You should probably use Regular Expressions for this kind of thing. Best of luck, Lawrance

Next time copy and paste the comparison string or use regular expressions to be more safe.

When you know what the output will be and can match it, the str* functions are much better as they are much more efficient.
