I have 3 strings, I would like to get only the equal strings of them, something like this:
$Var1 = "Sant";
$Array[] = "Hello Santa Claus"; // Name_1
$Array[] = "Santa Claus"; // Name_2
I would like to get both of them because they match "Sant".
With my code I only get Name_2
$len = strlen($Var1);
foreach($Array as $name)
{
if ( stristr($Var1, substr($name, 0, $len)))
{
echo $name;
}
}
I understand why I only get Name_2
, but I don't know how to solve this situation.
Your code will work too like below:-
foreach ($Array as $name)
{
if (stristr($name,$Var1)!==false)
{
echo $name;
echo PHP_EOL;
}
}

You can use php strpos() function also for this purpose
foreach($Array as $name)
{
if ( strpos($name,$Var1)!==false)
{
echo $name;
echo PHP_EOL;
}
}
Output:-https://eval.in/812371
Note:- In Both function the first argument is the string in which you want to search the sub-string. And second argument is sub-string itself.
