[RESOLVED] strspn always returning 0

jwagner

Hello,

I ran into a strange problem today, and I have no clue what is wrong.

Here is the code:

var_dump(strspn('There are 237 monkeys in the house', '1234567890'));

I have expected this code to output an int of 3, but for some unknown reason it outputs an int of 0.

I would thank you all if you can explain the problem with this code.

has to the the first segment so this will work,

var_dump(strspn('237 monkeys are in the house', '1234567890'));

or use the start position parameter

var_dump(strspn("There are 237 monkeys in the house", "1234567890",10));

Thanks so much. I guess this is the most useless function in PHP...
