note 96525 added to function.strpos

I've seen some awful and even outright bizarre examples for finding the nth occurrence of needle inside haystack starting at a given offset, so here's what I believe is a better one: function strnpos($haystack, $needle, $nth, $offset = 0) { for ($retOffs=$offset-1; ($nth>0)&&($retOffs!==FALSE); $nth--) $retOffs = strpos($haystack, $needle, $retOffs+1); return $retOffs; } echo strnpos("who's your daddy, daddy?", "d", 1); // 11 echo strnpos("who's your daddy, daddy?", "d", 3); // 14 echo strnpos("who's your daddy, daddy?", "d", 2, 14); // 18 echo strnpos("who's your daddy, daddy?", "daddy", 2); // 18 enjoy ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.135 Probable Submitter: 195.240.33.10 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/96525 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96525/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96525/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96525/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96525/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96525/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96525/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/96525 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/96525 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
