stristr - Case-insensitive strstr

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.

Parameters

haystack

The string to search in

needle

Prior to PHP 8.0.0, if needle is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character. This behavior is deprecated as of PHP 7.3.0, and relying on it is highly discouraged. Depending on the intended behavior, the needle should either be explicitly cast to string, or an explicit call to chr should be performed.

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.

Return Values

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

Notes

Note:

This function is binary-safe.
