I am trying to find out whether a string contains any of the strings from a particular table of strings and assigning the string that is found to be a match to a variable and then inserting said variable into a database. However it doesn't seem to be able to find a match even when there clearly is a match. Any help would be appreciated.
This is the code:
$stringToMatch = 'Good Morning';
$string_list = "SELECT string FROM strings";
$resultStringList = mysqli_query($link, $string_list) or die(mysqli_error($link));
$string_name = "Test";
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($resultStringList)) {
if (stristr($StringToMatch, $row)) {
$string_name = $row;
}
}
mysqli_query($link, "INSERT INTO table (string) VALUES ('$string_name')") or die(mysqli_error($link));
At this point, what would appear in the table is "Test" in the string column. Ideally it should insert the word "Morning" instead which can be found in the table strings
