Maybe someone can help me with a small problem.

In perl you are able to say something to the effect of:



to see if part of the query string contains "admin" in the string, if it does, goto sub admin.

Well in php I want to do the same thing.

The code I'm currently using is similar to:
which works fine if the url is http://mysite/index.php?validate

but in reality, that will never be the url, anything hitting that url will be more like http://mysite/index.php?validate=ksjdfjhsdfjkhsjkfh

and when I use that URL it doesn't catch it and just sends it to the default function because at the bottom of the elseifs is:
I realize that its because I have "==" in the statement, but is there a function similar to the perl "=~" so that I can just see if the query string contains "validate" instead of people exactly "validate"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind, figured it out:

elseif (preg_match("/validate=/", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])){ConfirmEmail();}

For a faster result try

if(isset($_GET['validate']))
{
  do_something();
}

Yep, I'd say thats a faster solution. Thanks.
