Example#1 A substr_count() example
<?php
$text = 'This is a test';
echo strlen($text); // 14
echo substr_count($text, 'is'); // 2
// the string is reduced to 's is a test', so it prints 1
echo substr_count($text, 'is', 3);
// the text is reduced to 's i', so it prints 0
echo substr_count($text, 'is', 3, 3);
// generates a warning because 5+10 > 14
echo substr_count($text, 'is', 5, 10);
// prints only 1, because it doesn't count overlapped subtrings
$text2 = 'gcdgcdgcd';
echo substr_count($text2, 'gcdgcd');
?>
