What function?

[phpcodec]

I need help with a php function

 

Their is a function that counts the amount of instances of a string that is in another string

 

so here is a example

 

$letter = 'a';

$line = 'my name is phpcodec and i like to code php and asp';

 

their are 4 instances of $letter in $line

[ghostdog74]

$line = 'my name is phpcodec and i like to code php and asp';
$letter="a";
echo substr_count($line,$letter);

 

always check the PHP manual first for references on PHP functions.
