using strpos, this would also match

$demo="Bob is from Los Angeles CAblahblah";

while i think OP wanted exact match. Correct me if i am wrong.

maybe something like this:

$demo="Bob is from Los Angeles CA ddfs";
$s = split(" ",$demo);
foreach ($s as $k)
{
if( $k === "CA" )
{
echo "Found CA: $k\n";
}
}
