Strstr alternatives

The strstr() function searches for the first occurrence of a string inside another string. My question is, is there an alternative to strstr that searches for all occurrences?

You can use preg_match_all it is looking for all occurrences matching a regular expression pattern.

This will work slightly other than strstr http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match-all.php

Depending on how exactly you are using strstr you'll define your expression.

If required, I can help you with this once the exact use is clear

<?php
// get last directory in $PATH
$dir = substr(strrchr($PATH, ":"), 1);

// get everything after last newline
$text = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";
$last = substr(strrchr($text, 10), 1 );
?>

http://php.net/manual/en/function.substr-count.php might do it for you.

These are added bytes to make SO accept a succinct answer.
