To know if one text is contained in another, use strpos
.
if ( strpos( $_POST['mensagem'] , '12' ) !== false ){
echo 'vc digitou 12';
}
Important: Note the use of !== false
, because if string is at the beginning, using only !=
will go wrong, because strpos
will be zero, indicating that there is a 12
, but at the beginning of the string
, since the count starts at the zero position.
If you want the reverse behavior:
if ( strpos( $_POST['mensagem'] , '12' ) === false ){
echo 'vc NAO digitou 12';
}
Use ===
for the same reason explained above.
Note that there are other functions to find substrings , but the manual itself recommends strpos
for these cases, due to the significant performance difference.

to !==
and ==
