Counting occurances of something in a string.

[satyricon]

I'd like to find out what function I should use to find out how many times something occurs in a string.

For example the letter 'l' occurs twice in the word 'hello'.
I'm wondering what function to use to find this out.

Thanks.

Try [man]substr_count[/man]

Thanks.

I'm also wondering, how to use this to find how many line breaks there are in a text string? What character am I looking for?
\n ?
