Question

This is how my script currently sends errors when the description is too short:

if(strlen($linkres->content) = minStoryLength ) { // if  description is too short
        $main_smarty->assign('submit_error', 'incomplete');
        $main_smarty->display($the_template . '/submit_errors.tpl');
        $error = true;
    }

I want to send the same error message when the description does not include at least one of these tags/words:

<img><youtube><googlevideo><xoinks><break><vimeo><revver><myspace>
<veoh><wmv><dailymotion><ifilm><metacafe><tubeley><guba>

thanks for your help!

Answer 1

$tags = array('img','youtube','googlevideo','xoinks','break','vimeo','revver','myspace','veoh','wmv','dailymotion','ifilm','metacafe','tubeley','guba');

$contains = false;
foreach($tags as $check)
{
    if(preg_match("/<".$check.">/", $linkres->content))
    { 
        $contains = true;
    }
}

if(!$contains) 
{ 
   // here goes your error
}

This is an alternative to inti’s solution.
