Are there any benefits to using MDB2, assuming I'm already using mysqli prepared statements, won't be switching away from mySQL, and I'm not already using PEAR?

Is there a fancy one line PHP trick that could replace this foreach loop?

code:

$b = array( 'dookie', 'poop', 'gook', 'poon' );
$password = //randomly generated phoenetic password
		
foreach ( $b as $word )
{
	  if ( strpos( $password, $word ) !== false )
	  	  $password = //try again from scratch...
}

php:

<?
if (in_array($password, $b))
{
  // whatever
}
?>

I'm not sure that will work though, since $password could be any length-- in other words, I'd like it to match words that include the banned words, but may contain other letters (like dookieq).
