Try this:

<?php
  $subject = "your subject";
  $pattern = '//\w*ph\w*//';
  preg_match($pattern, $subject, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, 3);
  print_r($matches);
?>

You can use this regex:

/\w*ph\w*/

That will match 0 or more word characters, followed by your search term ph, followed by 0 or more word characters.

RegEx Demo

PHP Code:

$kw = 'ph';
preg_match_all('/\w*' . $kw . '\w*/', $str, $matches);

You can use the Pregmatch function of php and as it's first argument give the regex as /\wph\w/. Give stars after the w as well , that is for any character present..
