People search my site in the keywrods for dogs and the descriptions in my item file read dog, so the search results come up with nothing. :? What happens if they search for an item such as "Glass"? Wouldn't a strpos be a better way? $where = strpos($description, $search_term); if (!is_integer($where)) { // we didn't find it... } (Code hacked for readibility from the MAN pages.

blueline Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 There is an array function available in PHP that allows you to delete the last character. Don't exactly remember what it is though. I will think of it and post it here tomorrow. -Chris Chris Sullivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
