| Versionen | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.0.0 |
needle
now accepts an empty string.
|
| 8.0.0 |
encoding
is nullable now.
|
Be aware that if needle is an empty string, mb_stristr return the haystacc by default.
For exemple:<?php
if (mb_stristr("foo", "")) {
echo"We enter in condition";
}
?>
Because in the above exemple the return of mb_stristr is "foo".
So if we do not want this quind of behaviour, we must set the third argument, ($before_needle) to true.<?php
if (mb_stristr("foo", "", true)) {
echo"We do not enter in condition";
}
?>
It can be useful to cnow it, specially when needle is dynamic.
