Php check words are the same forward and backwards

October 5, 2022

I have seen this php function on stack overflow to check if a word is the same forward and backwards but I haven’t found any help on checking multiple words at once.
How to code the php so that it would display the code below as
Civic is a palindrome
Geography is not a palindrome
Great full of any help
Thanks

<?php
$arr = ('civic','geography');
$word =strtolower($arr);
$reverse=strrev($word); 
if ($word == $reverse) {
    echo "<p style='color:green;'>";
    echo " $word is a palindrome </p>";
} else {
    echo "<p style='color:red;'>";
    echo " $word is not a palindrome </p>";
}
?>

>Solution :

Here is your solution:

$arr = array('civic','geography');
foreach($arr as $word) {
    $word = strtolower($word);
    $reverse = strrev($word); 
    if ($word == $reverse) {
        echo "<p style='color:green;'>";
        echo " $word is a palindrome </p>";
    } else {
        echo "<p style='color:red;'>";
        echo " $word is not a palindrome </p>";
    }
}
