Problem with Strpos In PHP
php, string, strpos
Solution
Strpos won't work with an int, so you need to cast the ID to a string. Try this:
$ID = (string)$postID;
Problem
I'm writing a simple function and for some reason(probably a simple one) it's not working for me and I was wondering if you guys could help me out. ``` function check_value($postID) { $ID = $postID; $cookie = $_COOKIE['list_of_IDS']; $position = strpos($cookie,$ID); echo 'ID:'.$ID.'-Cookie:'.$cookie; if ($position !== false) { echo "ID is in the cookie"; } } ``` In trying to figure out what the problem was I put that echo line above the If Statement there to make sure there actually is stuff in the variables. My problem is that the IF statement never prints out. A `$postID` is a number `123123`. The `$cookie` string is usually something like `123123.23422.234234.2342342.234234` Thanks for your help!
