stuck on strpos()

[electricocean]

Hi, i am trying to read a file name. i want this code to check if the filename conatains a dash or not and i am trying strpos()

if((strpos($filename, " - ") === false) ¦¦ (strpos($filename, "-") === false)){
 $splitby = "test";//do stuff if it does not contain a " - "
 }
 else{
 if(strpos($filename, " - ") === true){
  $splitby = " - ";
 }
 elseif(strpos($filename, "-") === true){
  $splitby = "-";
 }
 }
 echo $splitby;

nothing comes up for $splitby. Am I doing this correctly?

thanks,

Try this:

if(strpos($filename,"-") === false)
{
$splitby="This $filename string does not contain a -";
/* Put extra code here for no dashes. */
}
else
{
$splitby="This $filename string contains a -";
/* Put extra code here for dash being true */
}

echo $splitby;

Hi, change your code into:

if((strpos($filename, " - ") === false) ¦¦ (strpos($filename, "-") === false)){
 $splitby = "test";//do stuff if it does not contain a " - "
}
else{
 if(strpos($filename, " - ")!== false){
 $splitby = " - ";
}
elseif(strpos($filename, "-")!== false){
 $splitby = "-";
}
}
echo $splitby;
