I need to parse a set of directory entries (of photo image files)
and pull out the names of the subjects, which is in the filename.

A file name could contain 1 or more subject names from a limited
set of 18 possibilities.

eg: the possibilities might be: Aoife, Alana, Liam, Paddy.....

the file name might be: 0709-Aoife-Alana-DSC12435.jpg

I could do 18 stripos() calls to check for all 18 possibilities,
but I thought I would run it by the more experienced to see if
you can suggest an easier way

thanks in advance.
