You could use a regular expression, but strpos will work just as well: $my_url = 'www.blah.com'; $test = strpos($their_url, $my_url); if ($test === false) { echo 'No link'; } else { echo 'Link is in there somewhere'; } Best regards, Richard Davey -- http://www.launchcode.co.uk - PHP Development Services "I am not young enough to know everything." - Oscar Wilde -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
