find characters that between

How can solve this problem.
________________________

I want code to test if there are any of this characters "+" or ":" or "(" or ")" or "&" between [wor] and [/wor] and give me true else false.

for example(s):

$text="hi [wor] : [/wor] bye"; // output >> true

$text="hi [wor] & how + [/wor] bye"; // output >> true

$text="hi [wor] can ( [/wor] bye"; // output >> true

$text="hi [wor] ) [/wor] bye"; // output >> true

$text="hi ) [wor] you [/wor] bye + & "; // output >> false

perhaps something like:

PHP Code:

---

function test($teststr){
$nStr = explode("[wor]", $teststr);
$pStr = explode("[/wor]", $nStr[1]);
echo $pStr[0];
if (ereg("+", $pStr[0]) || ereg(":", $pStr[0]) || ereg("(", $pStr[0]) || ereg(")", $pStr[0]) || ereg("&", $pStr[0])){
    return 1;
} else {
    return 0;
}
}

thanks

no worries :)

Prok, do you not understand any of the code we have given you in the past. what you want to do is with regular expressions and it is much faster.

if (preg_match('/[\+\(\)\&:]/',$string, $match)){
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}

something to that effect.

I said provide that text between [wor] and [/wor]

so use this code:

<?
$text="hi [wor] http:// [/wor] ( ";
$X=preg_match('#\[wor\]((?!\[/wor\]).)*[+:()&]((?!\[/wor\]).)*\[/wor\]#i', $text);
Echo $X;
?>


what is this ? ... that is not the code that I write it it's auto changed ..

so

it's here:

well I am impressed. almost got it but not quite.

Code:

---

$text="hi ([wor] http:// [/wor]& bye; ( ";
if(preg_match('/\[(wor)\].*([:&()+]).*\[/U', $text, $match)){
echo "found something = ". $match[2];
}else{
  echo "didn't find anything";
}

this will work adn tell you it found something (return true) on the first thing it finds.
