I'm sure this is a simple solution, just haven't found exactly what I needed.
Using php, i have a variable $source. I wanna check if $source starts with 'http'.
if ($source starts with 'http') {
$source = "<a href='$source'>$source</a>";
}
Thanks!
if (strpos($source, 'http') === 0) {
$source = "<a href=\"$source\">$source</a>";
}
Note I use ===
, not ==
because strpos
returns boolean false
if the string does not contain the match. Zero is falsey in PHP, so a strict equality check is necessary to remove ambiguity.
Reference:
http://php.net/strpos
http://php.net/operators.comparison
You want the substr()
function.
if(substr($source, 0, 4) == "http") {
$source = "<a href='$source'>$source</a>";
}
if(strpos($source, 'http') === 0)
//Do stuff
Use substr
:
if (substr($source, 0, 4) === 'http')
