PHP - Find Url But Not If It's In A Sentance

Hi

I downloaded a PHP script, copied at localhost and when I run it, it will not display all results
instruction says that Globals should be off in PHP.ini and scripts should work while Globals are off.

but I can't find php.ini in XAMPP. I tried

xampp/apache/bin   but I didn't find php.ini

what should I do?

Hey, What function / how would I find if a string has something? Say I have a string like:

$string = 'Hello their! This is my post :) btw, my name is Justin.';

Say I wanted to find out if my name "Justin" is inside that string..
so:

whateverfunction('Justin', $string)


So I think you should get my idea now though

Thanks a lot!

The issue I'm having is that this query won't find a max value record if it has less than 5 votes. It'll only show the results of an entry has 5 or greater votes. Why is that?

$contest_id = 5;
$category_id = 8;

$find_entries = $db->prepare("SELECT entry_id, user_id, votes FROM contest_entries 
WHERE contest_id = :contest_id AND category_id = :category_id AND e_status = :e_status AND votes = (SELECT MAX(votes) FROM contest_entries) LIMIT 1");
$find_entries->bindParam(':contest_id', $contest_id);
$find_entries->bindParam(':category_id', $category_id);
$find_entries->bindValue(':e_status', 0);
$find_entries->execute();
$result_entries = $find_entries->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if(count($result_entries) > 0) {
  foreach($result_entries as $row) {
    $entry_id  =	$row['entry_id'];
    $user_id   =	$row['user_id'];
    $votes     =	$row['votes'];
  }
  echo $entry_id;
  
} else {
	echo 'nothing';
}
