Equivilent To SQL's LIKE

I want to perform an IF statement that says basically "if department is equal to PHS or description contains the words 'phone card' then do some stuff".

The dept=PHS bit I've got but I was stuck over how to code the 'description contains' bit. In SQL I would use "LIKE '%phone card%' " so I am looking for however ASP handles that kind of statement please. when I tried a search of the forum but 'like' and 'contains' are too common so it doesn't include them in any search performed.
