I want to find if a string contains a word ot not? It is a pretty simple thing if i want to do it in php.But When it comes to EE you need some plugins to do the job of strpos.

I have two plugins streng and phpstringfun.

But both of them have terrible documentation.

{exp:phpstringfun function="strrpos" par1="videos"}Videos/blah/blah{/exp:phpstringfun}

or

{if "{exp:streeng find='this'}This is a test string{/exp:streeng}"}
match exist
{/if}

I get wrong results for both of them.My php stage is input.

  • Have you tried putting your PHP in an ExpressionEngine plugin? That would be my recommendation. Happy to write a solution for you, but it sounds like you are capable and just need a pointer to the plugin API. May 13, 2014 at 5:33

I ran into trouble with streeng as well on doing just a find in a conditional, but it worked well with find+replace (ee 2.8.1), maybe hit up the developer.

For phpstringfun, in the example you put up you're doing a search for string position that's case sensitive. Try strripos and it should work with your example:

{exp:phpstringfun function="strripos" par1="videos"}Videos/blah/blah{/exp:phpstringfun}

And for an add-on with more documentation try CE String.
