i have a code to search for array keys, but only if the message is the exact message, i want it to use strpos so it can detect the message but i don't know how to do it:
My Code:
$message = $_POST['message'];
$responses = array("hi" => "whats up?");
if (array_key_exists($message,$responses)){
$msg = strtolower($message);
$answer = $responses[$msg];
echo $answer;
}
So this only works if the whole posted data was "hi". I want it to use strpos so it can detect hi anywhere, how would i do that?
I'm not 100% sure, but is this what you want?
$foundKey = null;
foreach ($responses as $key => $value) {
if (strpos($message, $key) !== false) {
$foundKey = $key;
break;
}
}
if ($foundKey !== null) {
echo "Found key: " . $responses[$key];
}
Edit:
If you want a case insensitive version, of course you can use this instead:
$foundKey = null;
foreach ($responses as $key => $value) {
if (stripos($message, $key) !== false) {
$foundKey = strtolower($key);
break;
}
}
if ($foundKey !== null) {
echo "Found key: " . $responses[$key];
}
strpos(firststring,secondstring,startposition[Optional]) function is return num.if num>=0 mean second string in first string.
$message = $_POST['message'];
$responses = array("hi" => "whats up?");
if (strpos($message,$responses)>=0){
$msg = strtolower($message);
$answer = $responses[$msg];
echo $answer;
}
