PHP Strings

PHP is a popular scripting language used for web development. It has several built-in functions for working with strings. Here are some of the most commonly used string functions in PHP:

strlen():

This function is used to get the length of a string.

Example –

$string = "Hello World";
echo strlen($string); // Output: 11

str_replace():

This function is used to replace a substring with another substring.

Example –

$string = "Hello World";
echo str_replace("World", "PHP", $string); // Output: Hello PHP

strpos():

This function is used to find the position of a substring within a string.

Example:

$string = "Hello World";
echo strpos($string, "World"); // Output: 6

substr():

This function is used to extract a substring from a string.

Example:

$string = "Hello World";
echo substr($string, 0, 5); // Output: Hello

strtolower():

This function is used to convert a string to lowercase.

Example:

$string = "Hello World";
echo strtolower($string); // Output: hello world

strtoupper():

This function is used to convert a string to uppercase.

Example:

$string = "Hello World";
echo strtoupper($string); // Output: HELLO WORLD
