Personally, I wouldn't be passing in parameters with '|' as a delimiter in
the first place. I'd have everything being an array. What if some day
somebody *WANTS* | as part of their category? You're in deep trouble then.
You'll have to write a string parser not unlike PHP's string parser with
an escape charachter to allow for "|" to be in the string and that's a TON
of work for what should be dirt simple.
The easiest fix, keeping your code mostly the same would be:
if (strstr("|$default|", "|" . $values[$i]['id'] . "|")
The trick is to get | on the beginning and end of the whole string, and
then your "Coffee" will be guaranteed to have | on each side of it, so
then you can search specifically for "|Coffee|" as a single term, and not
be fooled by "|Coffee Pot|" which is a different term.
Hope that helps.
