strripos

(PHP 5)

strripos --  Find position of last occurrence of a case-insensitive string in a string

Description

int strripos ( string haystack, string needle [, int offset])

Returns the numeric position of the last occurrence of needle in the haystack string. Unlike strrpos(), strripos() is case-insensitive. Also note that string positions start at 0, and not 1.

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

If needle is not found, FALSE is returned.

Uyarı

This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE, such as 0 or "". Please read the section on Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function.

Örnek 1. A simple strripos() example

<?php
$haystack
= 'ababcd';
$needle   = 'aB';

$pos      = strripos($haystack, $needle);

if (
$pos === false) {
    echo
"Sorry, we did not find ($needle) in ($haystack)";
} else {
    echo
"Congratulations!\n";
    echo
"We found the last ($needle) in ($haystack) at position ($pos)";
}
?>

Outputs:

Congratulations!
   We found the last (aB) in (ababcd) at position (2)

offset may be specified to begin searching an arbitrary number of characters into the string. Negative values will stop searching at an arbitrary point prior to the end of the string.

OK, I guess this will be the final function implementation for PHP 4.x versions ( my previous posts are invalid )

<?php

if(!function_exists("stripos")){
    function
stripos$str, $needle, $offset = ){
        return
strposstrtolower( $str ), strtolower( $needle ), $offset  );
    }
/* endfunction stripos */
}/* endfunction exists stripos */

if(!function_exists("strripos")){
    function
strripos$haystack, $needle, $offset = ) {
        if(  !
is_string( $needle )  )$needle = chrintval( $needle )  );
        if( 
$offset < ){
           
$temp_cut = strrevsubstr( $haystack, 0, abs($offset) )  );
        }
        else{
           
$temp_cut = strrev(    substr(   $haystack, 0, max(  ( strlen($haystack) - $offset ), )   )    );
        }
        if(   ( 
$found = stripos( $temp_cut, strrev($needle) )  ) === FALSE   )return FALSE;
       
$pos = (   strlen$haystack  ) - (  $found + $offset + strlen( $needle )  )   );
        return
$pos;
    }
/* endfunction strripos */
}/* endfunction exists strripos */
?>

Oops, I forgot to return "false" if the needle is not found. Here is the proper function.

<?php
if(!function_exists("strripos")){
    function
strripos($haystack, $needle, $offset=0) {
        if(
$offset<0){
           
$temp_cut = strrevsubstr( $haystack, 0, abs($offset) )  );
        }
        else{
           
$temp_cut = strrevsubstr( $haystack, $offset )  );
        }
       
$pos = strlen($haystack) - (strpos($temp_cut, strrev($needle)) + $offset + strlen($needle));
        if (
$pos == strlen($haystack)) { $pos = 0; }
       
        if(
strpos($temp_cut, strrev($needle))===false){
             return
false;
        }
        else return
$pos;
    }
/* endfunction strripos*/
}/* endfunction exists strripos*/
?>

I think you shouldn't underestimate the length of $needle in the search of THE FIRST POSITION of it's last occurrence in the string. I improved the posted function, with added support for offset. I think this is an exact copy of the real function:

<?php
if(!function_exists("strripos")){
    function
strripos($haystack, $needle, $offset=0) {
        if(
$offset<0){
           
$temp_cut = strrevsubstr( $haystack, 0, abs($offset) )  );
        }
        else{
           
$temp_cut = strrevsubstr( $haystack, $offset )  );
        }
       
$pos = strlen($haystack) - (strpos($temp_cut, strrev($needle)) + $offset + strlen($needle));
        if (
$pos == strlen($haystack)) { $pos = 0; }
        return
$pos;
    }
/* endfunction strripos*/
}/* endfunction exists strripos*/
?>

Sorry, I made that last post a bit prematurely.  One more thing wrong with the simple php4 version is that it breaks if the string is not found.  It should actually look like this:

<?php
if (function_exists('strripos') == false) {
    function
strripos($haystack, $needle) {
       
$pos = strlen($haystack) - strpos(strrev($haystack), strrev($needle));
        if (
$pos == strlen($haystack)) { $pos = 0; }
        return
$pos;
    }
}
?>

Note, we now check to see if the $needle was found, and if it isn't, we return 0.

Actually, the above, "Simple way to implement this function in PHP 4" by Yanik Lupien, should be:

<?php
if (function_exists('strripos') == false) {
    function
strripos($haystack, $needle) {
        return
strlen($haystack) - strpos(strrev($haystack), strrev($needle));
    }
}

?>

Note the reversal (<?php strrev($needle)?>) of the search string.  This was left out in Yanik's example, and without it, you'll simply get the length of the haystack, as the forward string will not likely be found in the reversed haystack.

Thus; if we reverse the haystack, any instance of the search string ($needle) therein will also be reversed, so we must reverse it to look for it. :)

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:
