strripos
(PHP 5, PHP 7)
strripos — Find the position of the last occurrence of a case-insensitive substring in a string
Description
Find the numeric position of the last occurrence of
needle
in the haystack
string.
Unlike the strrpos(), strripos() is case-insensitive.
Parameters
-
haystack
-
The string to search in.
-
needle
-
If
needle
is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character. This behavior is deprecated as of PHP 7.3.0, and relying on it is highly discouraged. Depending on the intended behavior, theneedle
should either be explicitly cast to string, or an explicit call to chr() should be performed. -
offset
-
If zero or positive, the search is performed left to right skipping the first
offset
bytes of thehaystack
.If negative, the search is performed right to left skipping the last
offset
bytes of thehaystack
and searching for the first occurrence ofneedle
.Note:
This is effectively looking for the last occurrence of
needle
before the lastoffset
bytes.
Return Values
Returns the position where the needle exists relative to the beginnning of
the haystack
string (independent of search direction
or offset).
Note: String positions start at 0, and not 1.
Returns FALSE
if the needle was not found.
This function may
return Boolean FALSE
, but may also return a non-Boolean value which
evaluates to FALSE
. Please read the section on Booleans for more
information. Use the ===
operator for testing the return value of this
function.
Examples
Example #1 A simple strripos() example
<?php
$haystack = 'ababcd';
$needle = 'aB';
$pos = strripos($haystack, $needle);
if ($pos === false) {
echo "Sorry, we did not find ($needle) in ($haystack)";
} else {
echo "Congratulations!\n";
echo "We found the last ($needle) in ($haystack) at position ($pos)";
}
?>
The above example will output:
Congratulations! We found the last (aB) in (ababcd) at position (2)
