Re: [PHP] one pattern, one string, multiple results
Thank you much! I was going to use preg_grep, preg_replace, preg_match, preg_match_all something like that, but this subsrt_count() will do the trick nicely! Thank you very much!

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? Maxim Maletsky PHPBeginner.com -Original Message- From: Richard Baskett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: mercoledi 26 settembre 2001 9.01 To: PHP General 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 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
