PHP compare titles with another title

Question

I am working on a function which compares a title of a post to a list of titles (of products in my website).

It is for building a simple advertise system in my own websites which watches the title of current post and compares it with the titles of the products in my website.

If it gets a match, the system needs to cut the product title string from the post title and removes the rest.

Example:

Current title: A brand new mountainbike!

List of titles:

1. Refrigerator
2. Table
3. Mountainbike
4. Book
5. Laptop

So my system needs to watch the title: "A brand new mountainbike!", loop it trough the product titles and if it matches "Mountainbike", it needs to stop the loop and cut "A brand new" off.

So I only have the string: "mountainbike".

My code (I build in Wordpress):

    $current_title = get_the_title(); // "A brand new mountainbike!"
    $titles = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'products', 'posts_per_page' => 100 ) ); // List of titles
    if( $titles->have_posts() ) {
        while( $titles->have_posts() ) {
            $titles->the_post();
            $title = get_the_title(); // The product title from the list
            if( strpos( $current_title, $title ) ) {
                // Here I need to cut the product from the title
                $found = strpos( $current_title, $title );
                break;
            }
        }
    }

Thanks to MoshMage, this piece of code solved my problem. The $match variable now holds the product name.

$current_title = get_the_title();
$titles = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'products', 'posts_per_page' => -1 ) );
if( $titles->have_posts() ) {
   while( $titles->have_posts() ) {
        $titles->the_post();
        $title = get_the_title();
        if( preg_match('/' . $title . '/i', $current_title, $matched ) ) {
            $match = $matched[0];
        }
    }
}
