Php Strings

A string is a sequence of characters, like "Hello world!".

Some commonly used functions to manipulate strings.

strlen() - Return the Length of a String

<?php
echo strlen("Hello world!");    // outputs 12
?>

---

str_word_count() - Count Words in a String

<?php
echo str_word_count("Hello world!"); // outputs 2
?>

---

strrev() - Reverse a String

<?php
echo strrev("Hello world!"); // outputs !dlrow olleH
?>

---

strpos() - Search For a Text Within a String

The PHP strpos() function searches for a specific text within a string. If a match is found, the function returns the character position of the first match. If no match is found, it will return FALSE.

<?php
echo strpos("Hello world!", "world"); // outputs 6
?>

---

str_replace() - Replace Text Within a String

<?php
echo str_replace("world", "Dolly", "Hello world!"); // outputs Hello Dolly!
?>
