magento check if product value contains a specific word

Question

Working with magento I have a custom option for a product which has rows with a date and then a location as it's title. For example the options could be: *

• 29th October - London,
• 26th November - Leeds,
• 28th November - London.

Is it possible to write an if else statement based on just part of the custom option's title value?

for example

<?php if($value == "Leeds"): ?>
Content
<?php else : ?>
other content 
<?php endif : ?>

Also, how to I call the custom option values?

Answer 1

Take a look at strpos and preg_match

$mystring = '6th November - Leeds';
$findme   = 'Leeds';
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);

if ($pos !== false) {
     // Content
} else {
     // other content
}
