To be able to use the returned value 0 [zero/FALSE] to indicate that the needle was not found when the needle is also likely to be found at position 0, prepend a char not likely to be part of the needle string to the haystack: <?php $needle='a'; $haystack='ABC'; $xpos=stripos('*'.$haystack,$needle); if ($xpos>0) { $xpos=$xpos-1; //adjust the position with respect to $haystack echo 'Found at offset ' . $xpos; } else echo 'Not found'; ?> ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 70.18.209.223 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.stripos.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71106 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71106/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71106/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71106/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71106/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71106/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71106/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71106 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71106 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
