[solved]quistion about strpos

[redarrow]

Does strpos mean stringpostion?

can some one post more examples please cheers.

i did read the manual cheers still dont understand the format of the code.

yes it means string postion

and i think it would mean where the string is in the string
[code]
<?php
$mystring = 'abc';
$findme  = 'a';
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);

// Note our use of ===.  Simply == would not work as expected
// because the position of 'a' was the 0th (first) character.
if ($pos === false) {
  echo "The string '$findme' was not found in the string '$mystring'";
} else {
  echo "The string '$findme' was found in the string '$mystring'";
  echo " and exists at position $pos";
}

// We can search for the character, ignoring anything before the offset
$newstring = 'abcdef abcdef';
$pos = strpos($newstring, 'a', 1); // $pos = 7, not 0
?>
[/code]
