substr_count

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

substr_count — Ermittelt, wie oft eine Zeichenkette in einem String vorkommt

Beschreibung

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

Die Funktion substr_count() ermittelt, wie oft needle in dem String haystack vorkommt, und gibt die Anzahl der Vorkommen zurück. Beachten Sie, dass bei needle zwischen Groß- und Kleinschreibung unterschieden wird.

Hinweis:
Die Funktion zählt einander überlappende Substrings nicht mit. Beachten Sie das untenstehende Beispiel!

Parameter-Liste

haystack: Der String, in dem gesucht werden soll
needle: Der Substring, nach dem gesucht werden soll
offset: Die Zeichenposition, an der die Zählung begonnen werden soll. Ist diese negativ, beginnt die Zählung am Ende der Zeichenkette.
length: Die maximale Länge nach dem angegebenen Offset, in der nach dem Substring gesucht werden soll. Es wird eine Warnung ausgegeben, wenn Offset plus Länge größer als die Länge von haystack ist. Eine negative Länge zählt vom Ende des haystack an.

Rückgabewerte

Die Funktion gibt einen Wert vom Typ integer zurück.

Changelog

Version	Beschreibung
8.0.0	`length` ist jetzt ein Nullable-Typ.
7.1.0	Unterstützung für negative `offset`- und `length`-Argumente wurde hinzugefügt. `length` kann nun auch `0` sein.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 Ein substr_count()-Beispiel

<?php
$text = 'Dies ist ein Test';
echo strlen($text); // 17

echo substr_count($text, 'es'); // 2

// wird der String auf 's ist ein Test' reduziert,
// lautet das ausgegebene Ergebnis 1
echo substr_count($text, 'es', 3);

// wird der String auf 's i' reduziert,
// lautet das Ergebnis 0
echo substr_count($text, 'es', 3, 3);

// generiert eine Warnung, da 5+13 > 17
echo substr_count($text, 'es', 5, 13);


// gibt 1 aus, da überlappende Substrings nicht gezählt werden
$text2 = 'gcdgcdgcd';
echo substr_count($text2, 'gcdgcd');
?>

It's worth noting this function is surprisingly fast. I first ran it against a ~500KB string on our web server. It found 6 occurrences of the needle I was looking for in 0.0000 seconds. Yes, it ran faster than microtime() could measure.

Looking to give it a challenge, I then ran it on a Mac laptop from 2010 against a 120.5MB string. For one test needle, it found 2385 occurrences in 0.0266 seconds. Another test needs found 290 occurrences in 0.114 seconds.

Long story short, if you're wondering whether this function is slowing down your script, the answer is probably not.

Making this case insensitive is easy for anyone who needs this.  Simply convert the haystack and the needle to the same case (upper or lower).

substr_count(strtoupper($haystack), strtoupper($needle))

To account for the case that jrhodes has pointed out, we can change the line to:

substr_count ( implode( ',', $haystackArray ), $needle );

This way:

array (
  0 => "mystringth",
  1 => "atislong"
);

Becomes

mystringth,atislong

Which brings the count for $needle = "that" to 0 again.

It was suggested to use

substr_count ( implode( $haystackArray ), $needle );

instead of the function described previously, however this has one flaw.  For example this array:

array (
  0 => "mystringth",
  1 => "atislong"
);

If you are counting "that", the implode version will return 1, but the function previously described will return 0.

a simple version for an array needle (multiply sub-strings):
<?php

function substr_count_array( $haystack, $needle ) {
     $count = 0;
     foreach ($needle as $substring) {
          $count += substr_count( $haystack, $substring);
     }
     return $count;
}
?>

Yet another reference to the "cgcgcgcgcgcgc" example posted by "chris at pecoraro dot net":

Your request can be fulfilled with the Perl compatible regular expressions and their lookahead and lookbehind features.

The example

 $number_of_full_pattern = preg_match_all('/(cgc)/', "cgcgcgcgcgcgcg", $chunks);

works like the substr_count function. The variable $number_of_full_pattern has the value 3, because the default behavior of Perl compatible regular expressions is to consume the characters of the string subject that were matched by the (sub)pattern. That is, the pointer will be moved to the end of the matched substring.
But we can use the lookahead feature that disables the moving of the pointer:

 $number_of_full_pattern = preg_match_all('/(cg(?=c))/', "cgcgcgcgcgcgcg", $chunks);

In this case the variable $number_of_full_pattern has the value 6.
Firstly a string "cg" will be matched and the pointer will be moved to the end of this string. Then the regular expression looks ahead whether a 'c' can be matched. Despite of the occurence of the character 'c' the pointer is not moved.

This will handle a string where it is unknown if comma or period are used as thousand or decimal separator. Only exception where this leads to a conflict is when there is only a single comma or period and 3 possible decimals (123.456 or 123,456). An optional parameter is passed to handle this case (assume thousands, assume decimal, decimal when period, decimal when comma). It assumes an input string in any of the formats listed below.

function toFloat($pString, $seperatorOnConflict="f")
{
    $decSeperator=".";
    $thSeperator="";

    $pString=str_replace(" ", $thSeperator, $pString);

    $firstPeriod=strpos($pString, ".");
    $firstComma=strpos($pString, ",");
    if($firstPeriod!==FALSE && $firstComma!==FALSE) {
        if($firstPeriod<$firstComma) {
            $pString=str_replace(".", $thSeperator, $pString);
            $pString=str_replace(",", $decSeperator, $pString);
        }
        else {
            $pString=str_replace(",", $thSeperator, $pString);
        }
    }
    else if($firstPeriod!==FALSE || $firstComma!==FALSE) {
        $seperator=$firstPeriod!==FALSE?".":",";
        if(substr_count($pString, $seperator)==1) {
            $lastPeriodOrComma=strpos($pString, $seperator);
            if($lastPeriodOrComma==(strlen($pString)-4) && ($seperatorOnConflict!=$seperator && $seperatorOnConflict!="f")) {
                $pString=str_replace($seperator, $thSeperator, $pString);
            }
            else {
                $pString=str_replace($seperator, $decSeperator, $pString);
            }
