This function will be very useful. Hans Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-28 15:56:47] iliaa@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. stripos() function is avaliable in latest HEAD snapshot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-28 15:54:26] philip@php.net hrm, the summary got changed, not sure how. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
