strpos not reading some chars

[glenelkins]

I have a string:  $_str = '<a href="testing.html">Test Link</a>';

 

I want the starting position of the ">  before the text "Test link"

 

$_pos = strpos ( $_str, "\">" );

 

But its not returning a position for this...any ideas? If i do $_pos  ( $_str, "href=" )  that works fine

[oni-kun]

$_str = '<a href="testing.html">Test Link</a>';
$_pos = strpos ( $_str, '">' );
echo $_pos;

Does that exact code, with nothing else in the file work? It's not making any sense that it's not, unless you're somehow managing to enter entities such as &gt;..

 

What's your PHP version?

There ya go! These problems are annoying when they should be working but don't.
