# strpos

strpos -- Find position of first occurrence of a string

## Description

`int strpos`(string haystack, string needle, int [offset] );

Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of `needle` in the `haystack` string. Unlike the strrpos(), this function can take a full string as the `needle` parameter and the entire string will be used.

If `needle` is not found, returns false.

If `needle` is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.

The optional `offset` parameter allows you to specify which character in `haystack` to start searching. The position returned is still relative to the the beginning of `haystack`.

See also strrpos(), strrchr(), substr(), stristr(), and strstr().
