String's strpos function in PHP

Sometimes we need to find the position of a sub string or character in string.

The syntax of the strpos is given below :

strpos(string in which you search, sub string/character)

The strpos returns the position of the first match and if no match is found, it will return FALSE.

Example :

<?php
echo strpos("Devmanuals","m");
?>

Output :

3

As you can see output is not 4 instead of 3, because the counting in string starts from 0, not from1.

Another Example :

<?php
$alphaString = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxyz"; // a-z alphabets
$kPos = strpos($alphaString, "k");
echo "The position of k in our string is $kPos";
?>

Output :

The position of k in our string is 10.
