-----Original Message----- From: Ron Piggott [mailto:ron.php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 13 May 2010 06:02 AM To: PHP General Subject: stristr query trouble I am not understanding why 'true' isn't the result of this syntax because $subjects equals: $subjects = "Delivery Status Notification(Failure)"; Here is my syntax: if ( stristr( $subjects, "Delivery Status Notifcation(Failure)" ) ) { $TIRSFlag = true; echo "true"; } _________________________________________________________________________ You have misspelled 'Notification' in your comparison ... You should probably use Regular Expressions for this kind of thing. Best of luck, Lawrance -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
