mb_strrpos - Find position of last occurrence of a string in a string

SYNOPSIS
int mb_strrpos (string $haystack, string $needle, [int $offset], [string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding()]) DESCRIPTION
Performs a multibyte safe strrpos(3) operation based on the number of characters. $needle position is counted from the beginning of $haystack. First character's position is 0. Second character position is 1. PARAMETERS
o $haystack - The string being checked, for the last occurrence of $needle o $needle - The string to find in $haystack. o $offset - May be specified to begin searching an arbitrary number of characters into the string. Negative values will stop searching at an arbitrary point prior to the end of the string. o $encoding -The $encoding parameter is the character encoding. If it is omitted, the internal character encoding value will be used. RETURN VALUES
Returns the numeric position of the last occurrence of $needle in the $haystack string. If $needle is not found, it returns FALSE. CHANGELOG
+--------+---------------------------------------+ |Version | | | | | | | Description | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------+ | 5.2.0 | | | | | | | Added the optional parameter $offset. | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------+ NOTES
Note The $encoding parameter was moved from the third position to the fourth in PHP 5.2.0. For backward compatibility, $encoding can be specified as the third parameter, but doing so is deprecated and will be removed in the future. SEE ALSO
