don't know if someone mentioned it already but i was digging around in the docs for something completely different and bumped into this: preg_grep() [http://php.net/preg_grep] and I thought of your question, might be just what your looking for. I can't remember having come across this func before - learn something new every day :-) Ryan A wrote:
Hi, Like the subject says; I have two questions: 1) Is it possible to detect JavaScript via php... and yes I do know that JS is client side while PHP is server...but how else to do it? The reason I ask is before serving an AJAX page I would like to make sure JS is enabled, if not, serve the other "normal page"... I am sure I am not the first person to come accross this little problem, how did you solve it? I have seen some suggestions on google like having a hidden form field and using js to put a value in it, if it exists when the form is sent then JS is on..if not, its not... but that method is not the best in an AJAX situation...right? 2) How can I search in an array for a particular word? eg: in an array "movie" I have this kind of data: movie_name=> some movie cast=> Jim Carrey, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy I want to search on either "Richard" or "Richard Pryor" (must be case insensitive too) something like a SELECT with a LIKE %% statement I have been fooling around with in_array() but not getting anywhere fast..... am I on the right track? Links, code examples or advise would be as always....appreciated. Thanks, Ryan
