Newbie - is there a function similar to the sql 'like' comparison operator?

I would like to be able to compare 2 strings:

If $this ---*like or similar to*--- $that

That type of thing...


I know of this page:

http://us3.php.net/manual/sl/language.operators.comparison.php


But I don't see something 'like' or 'similar' to something else
