Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=13533&edit=1 ID: 13533 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported by: e at arix dot com Summary: new function -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Feature/Change Request -Package: Feature/Change Request +Package: *General Issues Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: preg_match() and PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE helps. No need for yet another very seldomly needed string function here. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-28 21:29:06] e at arix dot com strset("This is a sample haystack", "ixbt") returns 3 because "i" was found in the haystack. strset("This is a sample haystack", "xbt") returns 0 because none of the characters in "xbt" are found in the haystack strset("This is a sample haystack", "xbts") returns 4 because it finds it at the end of "this" syntax: strset(haystack, needles) essentially strset is a function that iterates through the needles testing for the presence of each in the haystack. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-28 21:12:07] yohgaki@php.net Could you explain more clearly with examples? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-03 17:20:09] e at arix dot com would just like to suggest creating a new function (perhaps called strset) that takes a haystack as its first parameter and a string of needles i.e. a string each of whose characters will be looked for in the haystack. finding ANY of those characters the function should return the index. would be very useful to have this. - erick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=13533&edit=1
