how to check if the php variable containg hindi text

Hey there,

I faced a similar situation where I needed to check if a PHP variable contains Hindi text. After some research, I discovered another approach that worked well for me.

Instead of using regular expressions, I used the `mb_detect_encoding` function in PHP, which helped me determine the encoding of the text within the variable. Here's an example code snippet:

php
$hindiText = "यह भारतीय भाषा हिंदी में है"; // Replace this with your PHP variable



$encoding = mb_detect_encoding($hindiText, 'UTF-8', true);



if ($encoding === "UTF-8" && mb_strpos($hindiText, 'हिंदी') !== false) {

    echo "The variable contains Hindi text!";

} else {

    echo "The variable does not contain Hindi text.";

}

Hey there,

I've worked on a similar task before where I needed to check if a PHP variable contained Hindi text. What worked for me was utilizing the Unicode character range for Hindi scripts.

One way to approach this is by using regular expressions with the `preg_match` function. Here's an example code snippet that worked for me:

php
$hindiText = "यह एक उदाहरण है"; // Replace this with your PHP variable



if(preg_match('/\p{Devanagari}/u', $hindiText)){

    echo "The variable contains Hindi text!";

} else {

    echo "The variable does not contain Hindi text.";

}
