stristr

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

stristrCase-insensitive strstr()

Descrierea

stristr ( string $haystack , string $needle , bool $before_needle = false ) : string|false

Returns all of haystack starting from and including the first occurrence of needle to the end.

Parametri

haystack

The string to search in

needle

Dacă needle nu este un șir de caractere, el este transformat în întreg și aplicat ca valoarea ordinală a caracterului. Acest comportament este învechit începând cu PHP 7.3.0 și utilizarea lui este foarte nerecomandată. În dependență de comportamentul dorit needle trebuie transformat în mod explicit în șir de caractere, sau trebuie efectuat un apel explicit către chr().

before_needle

If true, stristr() returns the part of the haystack before the first occurrence of the needle (excluding needle).

needle and haystack are examined in a case-insensitive manner.

Valorile întoarse

Returns the matched substring. If needle is not found, returns false.

Istoricul schimbărilor

Versiune Descriere
8.0.0 Passing an int as needle is no longer supported.
7.3.0 Passing an int as needle has been deprecated.

Exemple

Example #1 stristr() example

<?php
  $email 
'USER@EXAMPLE.com';
  echo 
stristr($email'e'); // outputs ER@EXAMPLE.com
  
echo stristr($email'e'true); // As of PHP 5.3.0, outputs US
?>

Example #2 Testing if a string is found or not

<?php
  $string 
'Hello World!';
  if(
stristr($string'earth') === FALSE) {
    echo 
'"earth" not found in string';
  }
// outputs: "earth" not found in string
?>

Example #3 Using a non "string" needle

<?php
  $string 
'APPLE';
  echo 
stristr($string97); // 97 = lowercase a
// outputs: APPLE
?>

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:

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'
