String Search - Search A String Of Text & Return A TRUE Value.
I'm trying to do something pretty simple but I'm stuck on what function I need to use. Basically, I have a script where you can type a message and submit it. But I don't want people to use bad words, so if they do, it displays an error message. Example:
$string = "Fudge off!"
Let's say I don't like the word "fudge"
if ( stringcontains('fudge', $string) {
echo "No cussing!"
} else {
Post the string
}
Does that make sense? I'm basically trying to find some kind of search that will search a string of text looking for the word "fudge" and if it finds it, return a TRUE value. Does such a function exist?

Search Through A String For Various Text
My users enter text into a database field in the form of: this file {link:afile.pdf} is big and this file {link:another.doc} is small. I have no idea how many times they may enter {link:xxx} into a given field. The code we worked out (see other post below) fabulously translates the text into a hyperlink. The problem is that no matter how often the {link:xxx} is in a given field, I only ever get the first file returned; i.e: This file afile.pdf is big and this file afile.pdf is small. But what I should get is, obviously: This file afile.pdf is big and this file another.doc is small. I need to use some kind of looping function, or a foreach type function. Does anyone have any clues? Code:

Regex - Search A Text Field And Grab Every Instance Of A String
I need to be able to search a text field and grab every instance of a string that falls between <tag class="name"> and </tag>. We can assume that the tags will always be written properly. So if the following is my text field: "They streamed across the Clemente Bridge, docked along the <tag class="name">Allegheny River</tag>, strolled from the North Side and biked down the trail to watch their Pirates. <br/> They filled <tag class="name">PNC Park</tag> to the last sliver of standing-room space on the rotunda, <tag class="name">37,259</a> strong. <br/> And they came in full throat, chanting and cheering from the outset." ....I'd need the code to return, probably an array, like this: $array[0] = Allegheny River $array[1] = PNC Park $array[2] = 37,259 I just can't get it.

Better Method For Search And Replace In String
Here is an example of the type of string I am trying to search and replace, Generic text about *2nothing~ in particular. Just need to *5extract certain~ characters out of the text. I need to search the string for "*", collect the number directly after the "*", then extract the text, and watch for the "~" character to denote the end of the text. Then the information is sent to a new function i.e. new("2", "nothing") The new function formats the data and returns it into the original string. Currently I am just looping through the string and replacing as I go, but I imagine their is a better and more efficient way.

Search A File/more Efficient To Use A String Or Array?
I'm aware PHP can read the entire contents of a file into a string then from there it's possible to search that string for some data. And I'm also aware that PHP can read the entire contents of a file into an array then from there it's possible to search that array for some data. But can PHP search a file (such as a .txt or .html file) for a string of data? If not, then I guess I'm stuck with the first two options I listed. In that case, lets say I have a .txt file with a bunch of text in it. I want to locate a specific phrase within that text file. Is it more efficient (faster results) to read the contents of that .txt file into a string or an array? Then perform the search.
