mb_strpos

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.6, PHP 5, PHP 7)

Find position of first occurrence of string in a string

int mb_strpos ( string $haystack, string $needle [, int $offset = 0 [, string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding() ]] )

Finds position of the first occurrence of a string in a string.

Performs a multi-byte safe strpos() operation based on number of characters. The first character's position is 0, the second character position is 1, and so on.

Parameters:

haystack

The string being checked.

needle

The string to find in haystack. In contrast with strpos(), numeric values are not applied as the ordinal value of a character.

offset

The search offset. If it is not specified, 0 is used.

encoding

The encoding parameter is the character encoding. If it is omitted, the internal character encoding value will be used.

Returns:

Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack string. If needle is not found, it returns FALSE.
