There was a change in PHP 4.2.3 that can cause a warning message
to be generated when using stristr(), even though no message was
generated in older versions of PHP.
The following will generate a warning message in 4.0.6 and 4.2.3:
stristr("haystack", "");
OR
$needle = ""; stristr("haystack", $needle);
This will _not_ generate an "Empty Delimiter" warning message in
4.0.6, but _will_ in 4.2.3:
unset($needle); stristr("haystack", $needle);
Here's a URL that documents what was changed:

stristr
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
stristr — Versione insensibile alle maiuscole/minuscole di strstr()
Descrizione
Restituisce il contenuto di haystack dalla prima occorrenza
di needle fino alla fine.
needle e haystack
sono esaminati senza distinguere tra lettere maiuscole e minuscole.
Se needle non viene trovato, la funzione restituisce false.
Se needle non è una stringa, viene convertito in
un intero e si utilizza il valore ordinale del carattere.
Example #1 Esempio di uso di stristr()
<?php
$email = 'USER@EXAMPLE.com';
echo stristr($email, 'e');
// outputs ER@EXAMPLE.com
?>
Example #2 Verifica se una stringa esiste o meno
<?php
$string = 'Hello World!';
if(stristr($string, 'earth') === FALSE) {
echo '"earth" not found in string';
}
// outputs: "earth" not found in string
?>
Example #3 Utilizzo di un dato non stringa da cercare
<?php
$string = 'APPLE';
echo stristr($string, 97); // 97 = lowercase a
// outputs: APPLE
?>Nota: Questa funzione è binary-safe (gestisce correttamente i file binari)

Just been caught out by stristr trying to converting the needle from an Int to an ASCII value.
Got round this by casting the value to a string.
<?php
if( !stristr( $file, (string) $myCustomer->getCustomerID() ) ) {
// Permission denied
}
?>

An example for the stristr() function:
<?php
$a = "I like php";
if (stristr("$a", "LikE PhP")) {
print ("According to \$a, you like PHP.");
}
?>
It will look in $a for "like php" (NOT case sensetive. though, strstr() is case-sensetive).
For the ones of you who uses linux.. It is similiar to the "grep" command.
Actually.. "grep -i".

<?php
function stristr_reverse($haystack, $needle) {
$pos = stripos($haystack, $needle) + strlen($needle);
return substr($haystack, 0, $pos);
}
$email = 'USER@EXAMPLE.com';
echo stristr_reverse($email, 'er');
// outputs USER
?>

I think there is a bug in php 5.3 in stristr with uppercase Ä containing other character
http://pastebin.com/5bP6uztY
if you search only with täry it works, but as soon as the word is tärylä it does not. TÄRYL works fine

handy little bit of code I wrote to take arguments from the command line and parse them for use in my apps.
<?php
$i = implode(" ",$argv); //implode all the settings sent via clie
$e = explode("-",$i); // no lets explode it using our defined seperator '-'
//now lets parse the array and return the parameter name and its setting
// since the input is being sent by the user via the command line
//we will use stristr since we don't care about case sensitivity and
//will convert them as needed later.
while (list($index,$value) = each($e)){
//lets grap the parameter name first using a double reverse string
// to get the begining of the string in the array then reverse it again
// to set it back. we will also "trim" off the "=" sign
$param = rtrim(strrev(stristr(strrev($value),'=')),"=");
//now lets get what the parameter is set to.
// again "trimming" off the = sign
$setting = ltrim(stristr($value,'='),"=");
// now do something with our results.
// let's just echo them out so we can see that everything is working
echo "Array index is ".$index." and value is ".$value."\r\n";
echo "Parameter is ".$param." and is set to ".$setting."\r\n\r\n";
}
?>
when run from the CLI this script returns the following.
[root@fedora4 ~]# php a.php -val1=one -val2=two -val3=three
Array index is 0 and value is a.php
Parameter is and is set to
Array index is 1 and value is val1=one
Parameter is val1 and is set to one
Array index is 2 and value is val2=two
Parameter is val2 and is set to two
Array index is 3 and value is val3=three
Parameter is val3 and is set to three

Beware the example given here:
if stristr($message,'viagra')
or stristr($message,'cialis')
)
{
die();
}
stristr does not search for words, it finds matching substrings. So, for example, the check for 'cialis' will trigger on 'specialist'
