preg_match() vs strpos() for match finding?

by

I would prefer the strpos over preg_match, because regexes are generally more expensive to execute.

According to the official php docs for preg_match:

Do not use preg_match() if you only
want to check if one string is
contained in another string. Use
strpos() or strstr() instead as they
will be faster.
