stringsearch

[gielpiel]

How can I search a substring in a string and get as a result the number of times the string containes the substring (with what function). I've got one hell of a php-manual (over 600 pages), but I can't find an answer to my question anywhere in it. Please help me! <:-(

x = length of the substring
then search through the string by starting at charachter 1 and go to character x. if = substring then subcount = subcount +1.

For PHP 4>
int substr_count(string haystack, string needle)

Ex.
print substr_count("This is a test", "is"); // prints out 2

And I might recommend the chm file for the PHP manual, it is much easier to use(search) than any book. The help chm also had a function for PHP3, let me know if you need it.
