Hi there,

I am wondering if there is a function (I could not find) which does the same thing like strpos does, but with an array.

For example:

    $replace = array("picture", "pics");
    $pos = strpos ($term, $replace);
    //if ($pos !== false) {

if (in_array($term,$replace)) {

       $term = str_replace($replace, "", $term);
       echo 'term without the word:'.$term;
    }


http://www.php.net/in_array
Actually this did not solve the problem, since this function is searching for the exact phrase, but not within a string.

I solved it that way:
	// try pictures
	$replace = array("pictures", "picture", "bilder", "bild", "pic", "pics", "pix");
	foreach($replace AS $try){
		$pos = strpos ($term, $try);
		if ($pos !== false) {
			$term = str_replace($try, "", $term);
		   #echo 'yes'.$term.$pos; exit;
		   HEADER("Location:/index.php?search_for=".$term.""); exit;
		}	
	}	

Maybe it will be useful for somebody else.
