Well, the strpos function is pretty good for finding an occurance within a string: www.php.net/strpos

It will return the first "spot" it finds of any occurrence without the need for regex.

Use regex to find patterns - not static blocks of text. Are you looking for a regex tutorial?

NVD is an unknown quantity at this pointNVD is an unknown quantity at this point
preg_match is mainly used to validate data, testing if the input data matches the expression you give. Its not used to find an occurance of data.

Use the strpos as mentioned above, I think its more suited to what your wanting to do.
