Hi all ,
I have using php 4.3.2 and mysql database.
I have a form which have <select> tag which have the value for example
"-New York".
When use submit the form , i need to find the first occurence of "-" ,
i use strpos function as shown below :
$country = $_POST['country'];
$findme = '-';
$pos = strpos($country, $findme);
if ($pos === false) {
$_logger->logdebug("starting ....searchChassisTblDB() not found");
} else {
$_logger->logdebug("starting ....searchChassisTblDB() found");
}
however it always give false . I did not know why.
Then i did a testing , added below code in the php file without form
submission, it give true value which what i wanted. Anybody have ideas
or suggestion what happening ? Any difference when value submitted from
form ? Thanks
$mystring = '-New York';
$findme = '-';
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);
if ($pos === false) {
echo "The string '$findme' was not found in the string '$mystring'";
} else {
echo "The string '$findme' was found in the string '$mystring'";
echo " and exists at position $pos";
}
why don't you echo $_POST['country'] to see what you get?
