Check if a word exist in a url slug using php

My url slug is like below

/page-1/block-1/subpage

Now I want to search the slug for the word 'block'

I used stripos but it didn't give me the right output.

$pos2 = stripos("block", $row->uri);
if ($pos2 == true) {
    echo "We found block in '$row->uri' at position $pos2";
}

$pos2 is always false here.

Any help is highly welcomed. Thanks in advance.

You have your haystack and needle in the wrong order. The thing you are searching through goes first.

<?php

  $pos2 = stripos('/page-1/block-1/subpage', "block");
  if ($pos2) {
    echo "We found block in '/page-1/block-1/subpage' at position $pos2";
}

if (stripos($row->uri,'block')) {
echo "We found block in '$row->uri' at position ".stripos($row->uri,'block');}

Just to make it as short as possible, and in the right order (haystack and needle).

$pos2 = stripos($row->uri, "block"); your needle and haystack are reversed. See official docs
