stripos()

Anybody know for sure in what version of PHP this function was introduced?

This won't be much help, but it doesn't work in the normal release of PHP4.3.1 with the following configures:

'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--enable-mbregex' '--with-mcrypt' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-pear' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib'

As PHP.net said, perhaps it is only in the CVS version?

[filburt1]

I guess. It's an extremely useful function though, I hope it comes out soon.

[SiGmA_X]

Sure sounds like it! If it's your own server, you could download the source from CVS and compile it.. Works well, normally

Wouldn't

strpos(strtolower($haystack), strtolower($needle))

work just as well?

[filburt1]

Yes but why do that when there's a function that does it internally (probably faster, too)?

[Cyborg from DH]

so just do a

PHP Code:

if (!function_exists('stripos'))
{
    function stripos($haystack, $needle, $int_offset=NULL)
    {
        return strpos(strtolower($haystack), strtolower($needle), $int_offset);
    }
}

I solved the problem a while back and I'm doing something like that. I'm just saying a built-in PHP way will undoubtedly be faster.

[SiGmA_X]

So if you need the speed, re-compileing the CVS might be needed..

[filburt1]

I can't recompile on shared servers, let alone other people's servers...
