PHP string from an array element
for ($i = 0; $i < count($lines); $i++)
{
if (strpos($lines[$i],"The river comes") >= 0)
{
$current = $lines[$i];
}
}
This condition does show as true exactly once which is right. $current, however, is always just a return character. I am getting so aggravated with this.
I have tried this using strval with the same result.

You're right about false = 0. As a .net programmer that irritates me.
$lines = array("When The river comes by",
"blah",
"The river comes through");
for ($i = 0; $i < count($lines); $i++) {
print "Searching $i: ".$lines[$i]."<br>\n";
if (is_numeric(strpos($lines[
$current = $lines[$i];
print "Found: $current at pos ".strpos($lines[$i],"The river comes")."<br>\n";
}
}
displays:
Searching 0: When The river comes by
Found: When The river comes by at pos 5
Searching 1: blah
Searching 2: The river comes through
Found: The river comes through at pos 0
