#19874 [Opn]: Case-insensitive strpos()

ID: 19874 Updated by: philip@php.net -Summary: Compile error related to readlin Reported By: hz11@nyu.edu Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: hrm, the summary got changed, not sure how. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-28 15:53:04] philip@php.net worthy argument, may as well leave this feature request open :) btw, submit a patch and someone will most likely evaluate/comment on it. new features do not go into minor point releases so if this was implemented it'd go in PHP 5.0.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-28 15:27:17] hz11@nyu.edu Yeah, this is the obvious way around it, but it's pretty crude. I use strpos() for speed, especially on large string, and if you need to first copy the entire string and convert it lowercase, I might as well use stristr(). Implementing stripos() would be so trivial, I can't see a reason not to do it. I'd do it myself, however, to keep the quality of PHP high, it'd be better for someone with Zend/PHP C experience to write it. Could stripos() be available in the next minor point release even? Many thanks, Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-28 15:10:51] pollita@php.net Consider using: $position = strpos(strtolower($haystack),strtolower($needle)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-11 20:29:09] hz11@nyu.edu Maybe I'm missing something, but a case-insensitive strpos() would be handy. Yeah, there's obvious ways around it, but a native function would be great.
