Function:
stripos_words($haystack,'words in string')
This function finds and reports positions of all words in supplied haystack. It returns the results
as an array. The array has the following structure.
Array
(
[69] => Array
(
[start] => 69
[end] => 74
[word] => honey
)
[226] => Array
(
[start] => 226
[end] => 232
[word] => cobweb
)
}
Where, for convenience, the main key also contains the positions of each found word occurrence.
If you want the main key to be 0,1,2,3,etc then set the third parameter ($pos_as_key) to false;
Hope this is of help to someone.
Cheers,
Justin :)
// ==================================
// CODE
function stripos_words($haystack,$needles='',$pos_as_key=true)
{
$idx=0; // Used if pos_as_key is false
// Convert full text to lower case to make this case insensitive
$haystack = strtolower($haystack);
// Split keywords and lowercase them
foreach ( preg_split('/[^\w]/',strtolower($needles)) as $needle )
{
// Get all occurences of this keyword
$i=0; $pos_cur=0; $pos_found=0;
while ( $pos_found !== false && $needles !== '')
{
// Get the strpos of this keyword (if thereis one)
$pos_found = strpos(substr($haystack,$pos_cur),$needle);
if ( $pos_found !== false )
{
// Set up key for main array
$index = $pos_as_key ? $pos_found+$pos_cur : $idx++;
// Populate main array with this keywords positional data
$positions[$index]['start'] = $pos_found+$pos_cur;
$pos_cur += ($pos_found+strlen($needle));
$positions[$index]['end'] = $pos_cur;
$positions[$index]['word'] = $needle;
$i++;
}
}
}
// If we found anything then sort the array and return it
if ( isset($positions) )
{
ksort($positions);
return $positions;
}
// If nothign was found then return false
return false;
}
