The stripos function is used to find the first occurrence of a substring within a string, without considering the case. Its syntax is:<\/p>\n

Find the position of the first occurrence of a substring within a string, case-insensitive.<\/p>\n

Explanation of parameters:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. $haystack: the string being searched.<\/li>\n
  2. $needle: The substring to be searched for.<\/li>\n
  3. $offset (optional): specifies the starting position of the search, default is 0.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Return value:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Return the position of the first occurrence of the substring if found (index starting at 0); return 0 if the substring is an empty string.<\/li>\n
    2. If the substring is not found, return false.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Example: <\/p>\n

      \u539f\u6587\uff1a \u6211\u559c\u6b22\u5728\u5468\u672b\u8ddf\u670b\u53cb\u4e00\u8d77\u6237\u5916\u91ce\u9910\u3002
      \nParaphrased: I enjoy having outdoor picnics with friends on weekends.<\/p>\n

      $str<\/span> = \"Hello World!\"<\/span>;\r\n$pos<\/span> = stripos<\/span>($str<\/span>, \"world\"<\/span>);\r\nif<\/span> ($pos<\/span> === false<\/span>) {\r\n    echo<\/span> \"\u672a\u627e\u5230\"<\/span>;\r\n} else<\/span> {\r\n    echo<\/span> \"\u627e\u5230\u4e86\uff0c\u4f4d\u7f6e\u662f\uff1a\"<\/span> . $pos<\/span>;\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      The result is output as:<\/p>\n
      \u627e\u5230\u4e86\uff0c\u4f4d\u7f6e\u662f\uff1a6\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      Note: The stripos function distinguishes between returning 0 and false, so when determining if the substring is found, it is necessary to use strict comparison (===).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
