Variable help?

[AJM]

First of all, excuse my stupid question, but is it possible to do something like this:

PHP Code:

if($var1 == '$'.anychars)
  print "the variable had a $ in it";
else
  print "the var didnt have a $ in it"; 


anychars would be any ASCII character...

Any help will be appreciated, and I can expand if needed.

Thanks,

-AJM

If you have something..

PHP Code:

$var1 = '$var1';
$var2 = '$var2';

echo strpos($var1, '$'); // returns 0 


then ya.. but as far as i kno its not actually possible to do what you're asking but i could be wrong.

preg_match() did the trick. Thanks for the reply.
