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:
http://groups.google.ca/groups?selm=cvshholzgra1031224321%40cvsserver
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
?>
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
}
?>
I think there is a bug in php 5.3 in stristr with uppercase Ä containing other character

if you search only with täry it works, but as soon as the word is tärylä it does not. TÄRYL works fine
