   Hi,

   Im trying to determine weather or not a string appears within the content. The aim is to right a function i can call to check this, returning a simple true or false. I've been trying to do this with the bellow code, but i always get the response ($dResponce) returned as true.

   I've tested the "if ($test === false) {..." bit and it works fine, but it is not setting the value of dataResponce(). If i put echo's in that part the right answer is displayed.

   My code is pasted bellow. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

   Many Thanks.

   function dataResponce($dResponce) {
   			if ($dResponce = true) {
   				echo "true";
   			}
   			elseif ($dResponce = false) {
   				echo "false";
   			}
   		}
   
   		function in_this_instance($data) {
   			$rep_val = '[front banner]';
   			$test = strpos($data, $rep_val);
   			if ($test === false) {
   				dataResponce(false);
   			}
   			else {
   				dataResponce(true);
   			}
   			return $data;
   		}
   
   add_filter('the_content', 'in_this_instance');

   try to use double == in the if statements:

   function dataResponce($dResponce) {
   			if ($dResponce == true) {
   				echo "true";
   			}
   			elseif ($dResponce == false) {
   				echo "false";
   			}
   		}
