strpos

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

strpos --  Find position of first occurrence of a string

Description

int strpos ( string haystack, mixed needle [, int offset] )

Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack string. Unlike the strrpos(), this function can take a full string as the needle parameter and the entire string will be used.

If needle is not found, strpos() will return boolean FALSE.

警告

本函数可能返回布尔值 FALSE,但也可能返回一个与 FALSE 等值的非布尔值,例如 0 或者 ""。请参阅布尔类型章节以获取更多信息。应使用 === 运算符来测试本函数的返回值。

注: 该函数可安全用于二进制对象。

例子 1. strpos() examples

<?php
$mystring
= 'abc';
$findme  = 'a';
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);

// Note our use of ===.  Simply == would not work as expected
// because the position of 'a' was the 0th (first) character.
if ($pos === false) {
   echo
"The string '$findme' was not found in the string '$mystring'";
} else {
   echo
"The string '$findme' was found in the string '$mystring'";
   echo
" and exists at position $pos";
}

// We can search for the character, ignoring anything before the offset
$newstring = 'abcdef abcdef';
$pos = strpos($newstring, 'a', 1); // $pos = 7, not 0
?>

If needle is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.

The optional offset parameter allows you to specify which character in haystack to start searching. The position returned is still relative to the beginning of haystack.
