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. You can really simplify it if you assume that after you match a string you simply start matching at the end of the previous match. So, in this case it would find 3 occurrences. I don't think the alternative is very useful.

I agree with this kind of behavior. You don't want to get 5 matches on this one. Andi --- Andi Gutmans <andi@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
