Re: [PHP] stristr query trouble

$subjects = Delivery Status Notification(Failure);
Here is my syntax:
if ( stristr( $subjects, Delivery Status Notifcation(Failure) ) ) {
Notification is misspelled. Next time copy and paste the comparison
string or use regular expressions to be more safe.
Kind regards

I've also run into that problem in the past. The way that I could work around all these issues was to document naming conventions for the files and validate these before using the regex to obtain the necessary information.

I assumed that pathinfo simply returned the relative or absolute path of the file. After further inspection I have to stand corrected and agree that using pathinfo is the best approach. I should have probably done some more research when putting together my solution. Asking the list would've been an even better option ;-) . Thats why there's no substitute for experience or better line of work because you learn something everyday. Thanks gentleman. Time for some refactoring. :-D Regards Warren // -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
