PHP - strpos vs stripos

Strpos vs Stripos
Main difference is strpos case-sensitive where as stripos is case-insensitive
STRIPOS
$findme = 'a'; $mystring1 = 'xyz'; $mystring2 = 'ABC'; $pos1 = stripos($mystring1, $findme); $pos2 = stripos($mystring2, $findme); // Nope, 'a' is certainly not in 'xyz' if ($pos1 === false) { echo "The string '$findme' was not found in the string '$mystring1'"; } // Note our use of ===. Simply == would not work as expected // because the position of 'a' is the 0th (first) character. if ($pos2 !== false) { echo "We found '$findme' in '$mystring2' at position $pos2"; }

STRPOS
$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"; }
