substr_count — Count the number of substring occurrences
Description
$haystack
, string $needle
[, int $offset = 0
[, int $length
]] ) : int
substr_count() returns the number of times the
needle substring occurs in the
haystack string. Please note that
needle is case sensitive.
Note:
This function doesn't count overlapped substrings. See the example below!
Parameters
-
haystack -
The string to search in
-
needle -
The substring to search for
-
offset -
The offset where to start counting. If the offset is negative, counting starts from the end of the string.
-
length -
The maximum length after the specified offset to search for the substring. It outputs a warning if the offset plus the length is greater than the
haystacklength. A negative length counts from the end ofhaystack.

Examples
Example #1 A substr_count() example
<?php
$text = 'This is a test';
echo strlen($text); // 14
echo substr_count($text, 'is'); // 2
// the string is reduced to 's is a test', so it prints 1
echo substr_count($text, 'is', 3);
// the text is reduced to 's i', so it prints 0
echo substr_count($text, 'is', 3, 3);
// generates a warning because 5+10 > 14
echo substr_count($text, 'is', 5, 10);
// prints only 1, because it doesn't count overlapped substrings
$text2 = 'gcdgcdgcd';
echo substr_count($text2, 'gcdgcd');
?>
