So the column is stored something like "The first string~@~The second string", where "~@~" is the delimiter. (Again, I didn't design this, I'm just trying to fix it.) I want a query to move this into two columns, that would...

I am using strpos() to find the needle in the haystack. But, I want it to only find the needle with the same string length. E.g.: $mystring = '123/abc'; $findme = 'abc'; $pos = strpos($mystring, $findme); // THIS IS FINE $mystring = '123/abcdefghijk'; $findme = 'abc'; $pos = strpos($mystring, $findme); // THIS IS NOT FINE So, I...
I've a generic DB query function that runs the following checks every time an SQL query is issued: if (preg_match('~^(?:UPDATE|DELETE)~i', $query) === 1) if (preg_match('~^(?:UPDATE|DELETE)~iS', $query) === 1) if ((stripos($query, 'UPDATE') === 0) || (stripos($query, 'DELETE') === 0)) I know that a simple strpos() call is way faster ...

if(strpos("http://www.example.com","http://www.")==0){ // do work} I'd expect this to resolve as true, which it does. But what happens when I do if(strpos("abcdefghijklmnop","http://www.")==0){// do work} This also passes on php 5 because as far as I can work out the strpos returns false which translates as 0. Is this correct thin...

The regex for the first pattern is /\d\|\d\w0:/ The regex for the second pattern is: /\d\w\w\d+:\s-\s:/ Is it possible combining preg_match with strpos to get the exact positions from start to end and then copy it with substr( $string, $firstPos,$secPos ) ? ...
