If you only want to know if a string is a substring of another string you could use the strpos function in PHP: http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php

For more generally uses, regular expressions is the way to go: http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php and http://www.regularexpressions.info

You mean, you want to match part of a string? You can use preg_match and regular expressions for that.

if(preg_match("/string/", $myString)) { /* do something */ }

I'm going to take a leap and assume you mean SQL syntax for 'LIKE'.

For that, you use: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php
