Hi RevDave
Theres the similar_text() function which calculates the procentage of te
similarity between
two strings.
If your looking for a check to see if a string has some specified text then
use the strpos()
function and then the identical comparison operator to check for true and
false

Newbie - is there a function similar to the sql 'like' comparison
operator?
I would like to be able to compare 2 strings:
If $this ---*like or similar to*--- $that
That type of thing...
I know of this page:
http://us3.php.net/manual/sl/language.operators.comparison.php
But I don't see something 'like' or 'similar' to something else
