RE: [PHP] one pattern, one string, multiple results

Hi Richard.

Subsrt_count() is what you are looking for:
int substr_count (string haystrack, string needle)
php.net/substr_count

P.S: Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones Diary is a nice novel, hun?

Subject: [PHP] one pattern, one string, multiple results


I just can not seem to figure this out.

If i have a pattern 'arc' and I want to search the string:
"an arc is an archer, but what about marc and darcy?"

How can I find out how many occurances of arc is within that string?  I
know I can do an explode and then compare it, but when you have huge
amounts of text... is this the best way?  Or is there something better?
Any help would be great I have been struggling with this for awhile,
since I really do not want to explode, pun intended :)

Rick
