Check if a string is a part of another string (PHP)

Question

I'd like to check if a string is equal to another string. By equal, I mean that I want to check if the second string includes the first one in order to make mysql join's in a dynamic way. (I hope I'm clear, sorry for my english...)

I've seen some functions as strcmp() but it only checks if it is purely equal. It's the same as "$var1 === $var2".

Is there a function which can do that ? Or could you give me some leads to do that ?

@SunilPachlangia I didn't use the word "contains", that's why I didn't find the topic. Of course I went on google first... — CocoFlouq, Apr 14 '15 at 13:17

if (strpos($a,'are') !== false) {
    echo 'true';
}

How do I check if a string contains a specific word in PHP?
