Re: [PHP4BETA] New function chrcount

You'll have to forgive me, I'm not entirely familiar with all the inner workings of PHP, so I'm not exactly sure what the function does. I think the complication arises because we are looking for all occurences, not just a single occurence. For example take the following call str_count("aaaaaa", "aa") If we're just doing something like strpos then that's easy. However, in this case is the answer 3 or is it 5? Its that kind of complication that I was trying to avoid. On Mon, 24 Apr 2000, Andrei Zmievski wrote: > On Mon, 24 Apr 2000, Peter Kovacs wrote: > > Okay then str_count it is.
