php:how to check if string contains any of the listed keyword?

Question

i have an array of strings.

I have an array of keywords.

i loop through each string, and need to store them to mysql database if it contains any of the keywords.

currently i am using multiple stristr(), which is getting difficult.

is it possible to do something like stristr($string, array("ship","fukc","blah")); ?

Answer 1

I would advice you to use regular expresion for that

snipet:

preg_match_all('|(keyword1|keyword2|keyword3)|', $text, $matches);
var_dump($matches);

see the documentation of preg_match_all for reference

Answer 2

foreach ( $strings as $string ) {
  foreach ( $keywords as $keyword ) {
    if ( strpos( $string, $keyword ) !== FALSE ) {
      // insert into database
    }
  }
}
