Wild card in PHP value equal parameter

In SQL there is the LIKE parameter that you can put in to have a wild card for values such as: LIKE %value%. How would I be able to do that with, say, a PHP if statement?

$value = "value-";

$post = $_POST['retrievedVal'];

if($value.% == $post)
{
   echo "true";
}

As far as I know there is none, but don't worry there is a way to achieve the same with strpos()

just use the following if statement:

if(false !== strpos($post, $value)){
    // you thing to do
}

beware strpos could return 0, so the explicit comparison is needed
