I have a text string that is set in a variable to a value like these:
$str = 'type=showall'
or
$str = 'type=showall&skip=20'
$str = 'type=showall&skip=40'
$str = 'type=showall&skip=60'
and so on.
I need to check to see if there is a "skip" value present in the string, and if so replace it with a new number that is stored in a $newSkip variable and keep the string the same except for the change to the skip value.
For example if the string was:
$str = 'type=showall&skip=20'
and
$newSkip = 40
then I would like this to be returned:
$str = 'type=showall&skip=40'
If there was no skip value:
$str = 'type=showall'
and
$newSkip = 20
then I would like this to be returned:
$str = 'type=showall&skip=20'
I'm fairly new to PHP so still finding my way with the various functions and not sure which one/s are the best ones to use in this scenario when the text/value you're looking for may/may not be in the string.
