if description does not contain the following words

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello everyone,

I am parsing a MS Excel (.xls) file and adding it's content to a mySQL database, so far to good, but what I want to do is if the column titled description does not contain these words "seedlings" or "discount" then add it to the database but if it does skip it and keep looping.

Here is my code that I am trying to get working:if((!empty($description))or($available >0)and(!preg_match("/seedlings/i", $description))):
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `availability` VALUES ('','$description','$available','$price')");
endif;

I may not be using the right function for this "preg_match"?
