I've done a bunch of searching but can't figure this one out.
I have an array like this:
$array = array(cat => 0, dog => 1);
I have a string like this:
I like cats.
I want to see if the string matches any keys in the array. I try the following but obviously it doesn't work.
array_key_exists("I like cats", $array)
Assuming that I can get any random string at a given time, how can I do something like this?
Pseudo code:
array_key_exists("I like cats", *.$array.*)
//The value for cat is "0"
Note that I want to check if "cat" in any form exists. It can be cats, cathy, even random letter like vbncatnm. I am getting the array from a mysql database and I need to know which ID cat or dog is.
