Because I was bored, I've made a simple script with a function which I've never used before.

Link to the working example: http://caftp.pcsat.tv/testfiles/gen69.php

Here's the code:

<?php
$test = str_shuffle('1234567890';
$test2 = preg_match('/69/',$test);
if ($test2 == '1' {
echo 'Found 69! ';
}
else {
echo 'No 69 was found. ';
echo '<br>';
echo 'Refresh again to try to find it.';
}
echo '<br>';
echo '<br>';
echo 'Generated String: '.$test;
?>


I'm of course using variables to make this easier and clean.
----------------------
str_shuffle() Does what it says on the tin (str being string), it shuffles the string, this was the function which I was talking about at first.
preg_match() then checks that shuffled string for "69" (I was that bored ok!), this has multiple return values, 1 or TRUE if found or 0 or FALSE if not found.
I then used the IF ELSE statement to check if preg_match returns "1" (meaning it found "69" ) and if it does, it echo's the text saying that it was found, else echo the text if it doesn't return "1".
I've then echoed the actual shuffled string directly.
---------------------
You could say that it's simple (if you've been coding using PHP for a while).
---------------------
If you see emoticons in the code, that was done in the webpage so that was intended.


Be sure to share your simple creations!

You could also use strpos($haystack,$needle int $offset=0).

if(strpos("wafflez r good","wafflez" != FALSE){
#code to execute here
}

I'd use strpos in lieu of preg_match in a simple case like this.

Interesting, I haven't been looking into strpos() much since I don't often need to use word detection and there's other functions which does the job as well but in a more simple way.

Interesting, I love how you "randomly" selected that number.

It's my "pleasure".

Not to get off topic but in computer science you learn that there is no such thing as a "random" value. It all depends on the electrons flowing through the processor at a given moment, and particle movement is pretty random, but still has rhyme and reason due to physics.

It's called random because it comes up with different integers every time.
