If string contains
I need to figure out if a string contains " and if it does, I need to execute something.
Code would look something like this, I don't know PHP very well though.
{
if ($string contains '"')
{
bg = '$string'
}
else
{
bg = "$string"
}
}
Is that possible in php?

I found it, but I just found out it won't work for my problem
<?php
$string = 'Hello World!';
if(stristr($string, 'He') === FALSE) {
echo '"earth" not found in string';
}
else
{
echo "It does contain He";
}
?>

Why won't it work for your problem?

It is really hard to explain Cpt. But inside the CMS I am using, when ever you type {PAGETITLE} anywhere in the code, the title of the page is displayed. So if I set the $string to equal {PAGETITLE} $string = "{PAGETITLE}" what happens if the page title has a " in it? The code screws up. Is there a way to define a string without " or ' ?

Basically I think the problem is your methodology. You're trying to have the CMS write php code, and that just doesn't work, what you should do, if anything is alter the CMS so that it does an addslashes to whatever is replacing {PAGETITLE} (if you want to do it at all, which again, I don't reccommend. The even better plan is to find out what where PAGETITLE is coming from and use that variable for the $bg, you might have to make it global, but at least it will work.

Did exactly that Cpt. It finally works. Thank you soooo much.
I was working on that stupid problem for two weeks.
