heres an easy one, i just wanna know how to count how many … words… are in an array.
wait no… in my case it isn’t an array, nm. nm
heres a better question: how can i count the amount of times a certain string shows up in a variable. so example:
$var = “hello hello hello”;
return 3
whats that fuction called
substr_count() maybe?
$var = “hello hello hello”;
$string = substr_count($var, “hello”);
echo $string;
thankyou very much.
Carella is right that will work, just be careful when using it though cause say you have a string like the following:
[php]
<? $str = "This is the best dish!"; $count = substr_count($str, "is"); echo $count; ?>[/php]
The output will be: 3
how is the output 3?
‘is’ is contained 3 times in the string.
whoa, it is! I didn’t look close enough.
