Multiple strpos possible?

Question

I'm trying to see if my string contains { and : and } if so returns true, but I'm missing something here.

$string = "{12345:98765}";

if(strpos($string,'{*:*}')== true) {

echo "string is good";

}

Ideas?

How about:

if (preg_match('/\{.*?:.*?\}/', $string)) {
    echo 'string is good.';
}

Where:

/
  \{    : openning curly brace (must be escaped, it' a special char in regex)
  .*?   : 0 or more any char (non greeddy)
  :     : semicolon
  .*?   : 0 or more any char (non greeddy)
  \}    : closing curly brace (must be escaped, it' a special char in regex)
/
