question

[Ninjakreborn]

what does the needle, and haystack mean in this function prototype.
string strstr ( string haystack, string needle)

string stristr ( string haystack, string needle)

[insrtsnhere13]

if you search the manual for the function stristr

"Returns all of haystack from the first occurrence of needle to the end. needle and haystack are examined in a case-insensitive manner."

[code]
<?php
  $string= 'this is a string';
  echo stristr($string, 'a');
// outputs "a string"
?>
[/code]

basically, it searches the string for the first time that the 2nd value "needle" appears and then shows everything from that point on
