Ternary operations:
If ($username !== “Deedubs”){$username=$newusername;} You know what, this doesn’t need a shorthand notation, its nice and compact.
Search for a string within a string using php
Need to compare or discover a certain text inside a string on the server side? PHP has some great stuff for this.
strpos() will find the position of the first occurrence of a substring in a string. For example:
I want to find if the text “blue” is in the sentence “My blue heaven”.
$mystring=”My blue heaven”;
$findme=”blue”;
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);
// Note our use of ===. Simply == would not work as expected
// if the position was the 0th (first) character.
if ($pos === false) {
echo “The string ‘$findme’ was not found in the string ‘$mystring'”;
} else {
echo “The string ‘$findme’ was found in the string ‘$mystring'”;
echo ” and exists at position $pos”;
}
