note 68073 added to function.strpos

You can use strpos to produce a funciton that will find the nth instance of a certain string within a string. Personally I find this function almost more useful then strpos itself. I kinda wish they would put it stock into php but I doupt thats gonna happen any time soon. ^_^ Here is da code: <?php //just like strpos, but it returns the position of the nth instance of the needle (yay!) function strpos2($haystack, $needle, $nth = 1) { //Fixes a null return if the position is at the beginning of input //It also changes all input to that of a string ^.~ $haystack = ' '.$haystack; if (!strpos($haystack, $needle)) return false; $offset=0; for($i = 1; $i < $nth; $i++) $offset = strpos($haystack, $needle, $offset) + 1; return strpos($haystack, $needle, $offset) - 1; } ?> ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 69.95.70.124 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/68073 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68073/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68073/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68073/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68073/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68073/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68073/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/68073 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/68073 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
