Error in preg_match PHP

Question

<?php

$str = "asd,ad";
if(preg_match(",",$str)) { 
    echo "ok";
}

?

It outputs me

No ending delimiter ',' found in....

?>

Answer 1

your pattern can be replaced to strpos instead

if(strpos($str, ",")!==false)
{
   echo "ok";
}

Answer 2

You are missing delimitters, try this:

$str = "asd,ad";
if(preg_match("/,/",$str)) { 
    echo "ok";
}

To find out more instances, you may want to use preg_match_all function too.
