I am wondering how to complete multiple strpos checks.
Let me clarify:
I want strpos to check the variable "COLOR" to see if any numbers from 1 to 8 are anywhere in the variable. If any numbers from 1 to 8 are present, I want to echo "selected".
Examples:
Let's say only the number 1 is in the variable, it will echo "selected".
Let's say the numbers 1 2 and 3 are in the variable, it will echo "selected."
Let's say the numbers 3 9 25 are in the variable, it will echo "selected" (because of that 3!!).
Let's say only the number 9 is in the variable, it will NOT echo.
Let's say the numbers 9 25 48 are in the variable, it will NOT echo.
I just used the OR statement (||)
<?php
if (strpos($color,'1') || strpos($color,'2') || strpos($color,'3') || strpos($color,'4') || strpos($color,'5') || strpos($color,'6') || strpos($color,'7') || strpos($color,'8') === true)
{
//do nothing
} else {
echo "checked";
}
?>
I found the above answers incomplete and came up with my own function:
/**
* Multi string position detection. Returns the first position of $check found in
* $str or an associative array of all found positions if $getResults is enabled.
*
* Always returns boolean false if no matches are found.
*
* @param string $str The string to search
* @param string|array $check String literal / array of strings to check
* @param boolean $getResults Return associative array of positions?
* @return boolean|int|array False if no matches, int|array otherwise
*/
function multi_strpos($string, $check, $getResults = false)
{
$result = array();
$check = (array) $check;
foreach ($check as $s)
{
$pos = strpos($string, $s);
if ($pos !== false)
{
if ($getResults)
{
$result[$s] = $pos;
}
else
{
return $pos;
}
}
}
return empty($result) ? false : $result;
}
Usage:
$string = "A dog walks down the street with a mouse";
$check = 'dog';
$checks = ['dog', 'cat', 'mouse'];
#
# Quick first position found with single/multiple check
#
if (false !== $pos = multi_strpos($string, $check))
{
echo "$check was found at position $pos<br>";
}
if (false !== $pos = multi_strpos($string, $checks))
{
echo "A match was found at position $pos<br>";
}
#
# Multiple position found check
#
if (is_array($found = multi_strpos($string, $checks, true)))
{
foreach ($found as $s => $pos)
{
echo "$s was found at position $pos<br>";
}
}
try preg match for multiple
if (preg_match('/word|word2/i', $str))
strpos() with multiple needles?
If all value is seperated by a space in value then you can do the following.
Otherwise ignore it.
It is needed because if you have $color="25";
then strpos
will found both 2, 5 and 25 so required result will not come
<?php
$color='1 25 48 9 3';
$color_array = explode(" ",$color);
$find = range(1,8);//array containing 1 to 8
$isFound = false;
foreach($find as $value) {
if(in_array($value, $color_array))
{
$isFound = true;
break;
}
}
if($isFound) {
echo "Selected";
}
?>
if (preg_match('/string1|string2|string3/i', $str)){
//if one of them found
}else{
//all of them can not found
}
