    Hi all,

    I'd like to know how can I return the string position in a match with a regular expression (preg_match in php)?
    I would like to return an array including the string position of the match.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thank in advance.

    As far as I know, that's not possible. But strpos() and stripos() will do that.

    It's possible with PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE flag:

    And if you need to get offsets of all occurrences of the string, use preg_match_all().
