If variable contains

[krohnathlonman]

I want to only do something if a variable contains the text:

Logfile of HijackThis

There will be quite a bit of text bother before and after this but I can't think of the function to search through a variable LOL It's been a while since I did any coding so I've forgotten pretty much everything

Here's one way:

if (strpos($string, 'Logfile of HijackThis') !== FALSE) {

echo '"Logfile of HijackThis" found!';

} 

Use stripos() instead of strpos() if you want it to be case-insensitive.

thanks, that's working great I've had over 40k submissions in the past 2mnths to a system and doing stuff like this will help automate the process for filtering out the junk. The system I'm adding this to is http://hjt.iamnotageek.com/ if you're wondering. I haven't had any time for programming in a while so I've forgotten alot LOL

Also, an alternative to this you can use regular expression functions such as preg_match() but, if you've been away from PHP for a while, don't worry about it
