strripos
(PHP 5)
strripos — Find position of last occurrence of a case-insensitive string in a string
Description
Find position of last occurrence of a string in a string. Unlike 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.
- offset
-
If specified, search will stop this number of characters counted from the beginning of the string. If the value is negative, search will instead start from that many characters from the end of the string.
Return Values
Returns the numerical position of the last occurrence of needle. Also note that string positions start at 0, and not 1.
If needle is not found, FALSE is returned.
This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE, such as 0 or "". 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)
