Yes there are. They use regular expressions as parameters. Regular expressions are difficult at first, but they are essential when you are working with text strings.

Here is a good starting point.

i was always refuse to learn regex but i think this is time to learn.

thanks , Mor.

 

Regex is good to know and I would say to learn it, however, if you could be more specific about your last two questions, it may be simpler.

 

For the second question, 'find the number of matches' or the 'starting postion of all matches'?

 

For the last question, that's exactly what strpos() does.  What do you mean by find it?  strpos("strposfunction", "function"); returns 6, so it found it.

I meant that strpos function find 1 match and than give back the result.

I looking for function that actually find all matches in the text and not the first one.

about the last function i was talking about i was confused so forget about it.

and thanks for interesting , Mor.
