php substring position code example

Example 1: strpos in php

<?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";
}
?>

Example 2: php get part of string

/**Returns the extracted part of string;
  *or FALSE on failure, or an empty string
  */

Example 3: strpos

strpos ( string $haystack , mixed $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] ) : int
