php conditional region

[darryncooke]

so I have a query which selects distinct items from a column.

I want to hide a selection of text if said column contains a string.

right now I am using

if ($row_recordsetname['column_name']=='string'

but I only want it to check if "string" exists in said field NOT "string" being the actual value. So if the field contains "my big string pool" then I want this to be true.

Use the strpos() function.

if(strpos($mystring,$sectiontofind)){
...
}

Strpos will return the position of the string or false if it can't find it.
