Is there a function in jQuery or JavaScript that does the same as strstr()
in PHP?
I have an AJAX response that should be 1,2,3,12,13,23 or 123. I want to check if 1 exists, then if 2 exists then if 3 exists.

Try using this:
function strstr(haystack, needle, bool) {
// Finds first occurrence of a string within another
//

// * example 1: strstr(‘Kevin van Zonneveld’, ‘van’);
// * returns 1: ‘van Zonneveld’ // * example 2: strstr(‘Kevin van Zonneveld’, ‘van’, true);
// * returns 2: ‘Kevin ‘
// * example 3: strstr(‘name@example.com’, ‘@’);
// * returns 3: ‘@example.com’
// * example 4: strstr(‘name@example.com’, ‘@’, true); // * returns 4: ‘name’
var pos = 0;
haystack += "";
pos = haystack.indexOf(needle); if (pos == -1) {
return false;
} else {
if (bool) {
return haystack.substr(0, pos);
} else {
return haystack.slice(pos);
}
}
}

Overall phpjs is pretty phenomenal.
Ok I just found something that works!

Thanks for your contributions :)
Read about these javascript functions - indexOF() and lastIndexOf().
Well, not built in. String.indexOf( String str )
returns the integer index of the substring
but then, you can easily build one: http://aimtb.wordpress.com/2011/03/16/strstr-in-javascript/
function strstr(haystack, needle, bool) {
// Finds first occurrence of a string within another
//
// version: 1103.1210
// discuss at: http://phpjs.org/functions/strstr // + original by: Kevin van Zonneveld (http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net)

// * example 1: strstr(‘Kevin van Zonneveld’, ‘van’);
// * returns 1: ‘van Zonneveld’ // * example 2: strstr(‘Kevin van Zonneveld’, ‘van’, true);
// * returns 2: ‘Kevin ‘
// * example 3: strstr(‘name@example.com’, ‘@’);
// * returns 3: ‘@example.com’
// * example 4: strstr(‘name@example.com’, ‘@’, true); // * returns 4: ‘name’
var pos = 0;
haystack += "";
pos = haystack.indexOf(needle); if (pos == -1) {
return false;
} else {
if (bool) {
return haystack.substr(0, pos);
} else {
return haystack.slice(pos);
}
}
}
Here is an implementation without any library/method calls:
function strstr (haystack, needle) {
var i = 0,
tempLength = 0,
temp = [];
for (;;) {
if (haystack[i] === undefined || needle == null) {
return "No match";
}
//if the char doesn't match then reset
else if (haystack[i] !== needle[tempLength]) {
temp = [];
tempLength = 0;
}
//the char matches so let's store it.
else if (haystack[i] === needle[tempLength]) {
temp[tempLength] = haystack[i];
if (needle[tempLength + 1] === undefined) {
return temp;
}
tempLength++;
}
i++;
}
};
