Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. That means, that the behaviour of this function, this function name, in concreto ANYTHING documented here can change in a future release of PHP WITHOUT NOTICE. Be warned, and use this function at your own risk.

mb_strpos() returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack string. If needle is not found, it returns FALSE.

mb_strpos() performs multi-byte safe strpos() operation based on number of characters. needle position is counted from the beginning of the haystack. First character's position is 0. Second character position is 1, and so on.

If encoding is omitted, internal character encoding is used. mb_strrpos() accepts string for needle where strrpos() accepts only character.

offset is search offset. If it is not specified, 0 is used.

encoding is character encoding name. If it is omitted, internal character encoding is used.
