The substr_count Function

The substr_count function counts how many times a substring occurs in a string. Works correctly only with Latin characters (single-byte characters).

Syntax

phpsubstr_count(string $haystack, string $needle, int $offset = 0, ?int $length = null): int

Example

Let's count how many times the substring 'test' appears in our string:

php<?php
  echo substr_count('test www test', 'test');  
?>

Code execution result:

php2
