strpos

Description

Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack string. Unlike the strrpos() , this function can take a full string as the needle parameter and the entire string will be used.

If needle is not found, returns false.

If needle is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.

The optional offset parameter allows you to specify which character in haystack to start searching. The position returned is still relative to the the beginning of haystack .
