You need to use preg_match().

 

Here is a link to get more information on it.

There are half a dozen examples on that page.

You can use count_chars() which will return how many times each char appears.

You can also use substr_count() without the two optional parameters.

Of course, you can use preg_match_all() and stuff like that, but these two functions will get you your results much faster.

 

Orio.
