mb_substr_count is supporting overlapping needles. Is this a problem of substr_count ? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-31 17:08:52] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assigning to extension maintainer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-01-31 14:27:02] josmessa at uk dot ibm dot com Description: ------------ In the documentation for substr_count there is a note that says: "Note: This function doesn't count overlapped substrings. See the example below! ". mb_substr_count does not replicate this behaviour, and as mb_substr_count can overload substr_count I think it should. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $string_ascii = 'abcabcabc'; echo "mb_substr_count: "; var_dump(mb_substr_count($string_ascii, 'abcabc')); //needle overlaps in haystack echo "substr_count: "; var_dump(substr_count($string_ascii, 'abcabc')); ?> Expected result: ---------------- mb_substr_count: int(1) substr_count: int(1) Actual result: -------------- mb_substr_count: int(2) substr_count: int(1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43993&edit=1
