stripos

(PHP 5)

stripos — Find position of first occurrence of a case-insensitive string

Description

int stripos ( string $haystack, string $needle [, int $offset] )

Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack string. Unlike strpos(), stripos() is case-insensitive.

Note that the needle may be a string of one or more characters.

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

Varování

Tato funkce může vracet booleovskou hodnotu FALSE, ale také nebooleovskou hodnotu odpovídající ohodnocení FALSE, například 0 nebo "". Čtěte prosím sekci o typu Boolean, kde najdete více informací. Pro testování návratové hodnoty této funkce použijte operátor ===.

Příklad 2117. stripos() examples

<?php
$findme   
= 'a';
$mystring1 = 'xyz';
$mystring2 = 'ABC';

$pos1 = stripos($mystring1, $findme);
$pos2 = stripos($mystring2, $findme);

// Nope, 'a' is certainly not in 'xyz'
if ($pos1 === false) {
    echo
"The string '$findme' was not found in the string '$mystring1'";
}

// Note our use of ===.  Simply == would not work as expected
// because the position of 'a' is the 0th (first) character.
if ($pos2 !== false) {
    echo
"We found '$findme' in '$mystring2' at position $pos2";
}
?>

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.

Poznámka: Tato funkce je binárně bezpečná.

@henke:

No. It does NOT make a warning if the needle isn't found. This is false.

This function will raise a warning if the needle was not found. Be sure to use @ to suppress it if you want the strpos like behavior of only returning false.

To shane_at_51smith-dot-nl
Fine but not useful if you want to use stripos 3rd param òffset´ for instance to find all occurences of `needle´.
Again rchillet and heavyraptor solution is best though you'd better keep to-lowercase strings outside the function if you're planning to loop through `haystack´ like this:

$lower_haystack = strtolower($haystack);
$lower_needle = strtolower($needle);
$offset = 0;
//... looping over haystack
while ($offset !== false) {
    $offset = strpos($lower_haystack, $lower_needle, $offset);
    //... some funny stuff here
}

Using rchillet-heavyraptor function here would slow down performance. Solution: don't invent any function

Yet another stripos for php4 alternative:
<?php
function stripos($haystack, $needle){
    return
strpos($haystack, stristr( $haystack, $needle ));
}
$strTest = "The brown fox jumped over the Fence";
echo
stripos($strTest, 'fence');//30

(i'm very sorry for some mistakes in my yesterday's post :'[ )

this would to work with any language, i hope.
tested on czech (eastern europe) lang.

I recommend using the solution by rchillet for <PHP5

michiels solution is quite slow if you use it for long strings or call it many times.

Since the stripos-function is PHP5-only, the function below could give PHP4-users the same functionallity:

function stripos($string,$word)
{
   $retval = false;
   for($i=0;$i<=strlen($string);$i++)
   {
       if (strtolower(substr($string,$i,strlen($word))) == strtolower($word))
       {
           $retval = true;
       }
   }
   return $retval;
}

improvement the function of heavyraptor with int offset parametre.

if (!function_exists("stripos")) {
  function stripos($str,$needle,$offset=0)
  {
      return strpos(strtolower($str),strtolower($needle),$offset);
  }
}

If you're using PHP < 5, you can use this alternate function, same thing like stripos:

<?php
if (!function_exists("stripos")) {
  function
stripos($str,$needle) {
   return
strpos(strtolower($str),strtolower($needle));
  }
}
?>

Such a logical function but I hope it helps ...

Just to be explicit, the position index returned by strpos starts at 0, not 1. e.g. strpos('abc','a') returns 0.

This functionality is now implemented in the PEAR package PHP_Compat.

More information about using this function without upgrading your version of PHP can be found on the below link:
