search in string

[pelachrum]

is there a predefined function to search a string for specified characters/words, anything defined ahead of the time?

<?php

$a = "i am a string and someone wants to search 'to be searched' ";

$targetstring = "to be searched";

if(stristr($a, $targetstring) === FALSE) {
echo "string not found" ;
}

?>
