Case-insensitive version of str\_replace(). --- str\_pad() Pad a string to a certain length with another string. --- str\_repeat() Repeats a string a specified number of times. --- str\_replace() Replace all occurrences of the search string with the replacement string (case-sensitive). --- str\_rot13() Performs the ROT13 encoding on a string. --- str\_shuffle() Randomly shuffles all characters in a string. --- str\_split() Splits a string into an array. --- str\_word\_count() Counts the number of words in a string. --- strcasecmp() Binary safe comparison of two string (case-insensitive). --- strchr() Finds the first occurrence of a string inside another string. Alias of strstr() function. --- strcmp() Binary safe comparison of two string (case sensitive). --- strcoll() Locale based comparison of two string (case sensitive). --- strcspn() Returns the number of characters found in a string before any part of some specified characters are found. --- strip\_tags() Strip HTML and PHP tags from a string. --- stripcslashes() Un-quotes a string quoted with addcslashes() --- stripos() Finds the position of the first occurrence of a case-insensitive substring in a string. --- stripslashes() Un-quotes a quoted string. --- stristr() Finds the first occurrence of a string inside another string (case-insensitive). Case-insensitive version of strstr() --- strlen() Returns the length of a string. --- strnatcasecmp() Compares two strings using a “natural order” algorithm (case-insensitive). --- strnatcmp() Compares two strings using a “natural order” algorithm (case-sensitive). --- strncasecmp() Binary safe string comparison of the first n characters (case-insensitive). --- strncmp() Binary safe string comparison of the first n characters (case-sensitive). --- strpbrk() Searches a string for any of a set of characters. --- strpos() Finds the position of the first occurrence of a substring in a string. --- strrchr() Finds the last occurrence of a character in a string. --- strrev() Reverses a string. --- strripos() Finds the position of the last occurrence of a string inside another string (case-insensitive). --- strrpos() Finds the position of the last occurrence of a string inside another string (case-sensitive). --- strspn() Returns the number of characters found in a string that contains only characters from a specified charlist. --- strstr() Finds the first occurrence of a string inside another string (case-sensitive). --- strtok() Splits a string into smaller strings. --- strtolower() Converts a string to lowercase. --- strtoupper() Converts a string to uppercase. --- strtr() Translate characters or replace substrings. --- substr() Returns a part of a string. --- substr\_compare() Compares of two strings from a specified start position up to the length of the comparison.
