The mail validator example is NON CONFORMANT with SMTP mail RFCs. Valid characters for Internet e-mail address are more than the ones listed here. Implementing such lame validator is a big disservice to the whole Internet.
Those interested can read RFC 5322. In short, the valid characters are different on both sides of the @ sign, so, before applying this fast technique the address should be exploded into the two side strings, and then, use different valid character strings for the local-part and the domain.
A local part can be any alphabetic or digit US-ASCII character plus "!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~", and then, if it is enclosed in double-quotes ("), it can be any US-ASCII character except double-quote (") and back-slash(\).
The domain can be any printable US-ASCII characters not including "[", "]", or "\".
And then, this could be overridden with the advent of internationalized domains, that can use UTF-8 character sets.
Implementation of the validator is left as an exercise for the reader.
stripos
(PHP 5)
stripos — Find positionen på den første forekomst af en streng der ikke skelner mellem små og store bogstaver
Beskrivelse
Returnerer den numeriske position af den første forekomst af needle i haystack -strengen. Ulig strpos() ser stripos() ikke forskel på små og store bogstaver
Noter at needle kan være en streng bestående af et eller flere tegn.
Hvis needle ikke bliver fundet, vil stripos() returnere FALSE
Denne funktion returnerer muligvis en Boolean FALSE, men kan også returnere en ikke-Booleansk værdi som evalueres til FALSE, så som 0 eller "". Læs venligst sektionen om Booleans for mere information. brug === operatoren for at teste den værdi som returneres af denne funktion.
Example#1 stripos() eksempler
<?php
$findmig = 'a';
$minstreng1 = 'æøå';
$minstreng2 = 'ABC';
$pos1 = stripos($minstreng1, $findmig);
$pos2 = stripos($minstreng2, $findmig);
// Nej, 'a' er absolut ikke i 'xyz'
if ($pos1 === false) {
echo "Strengen '$findmig' blev ikke fundet i strengen '$minstreng1'";
}
// Noter brugen af ===. Bare == ville ikke virke som forventet, da positionen
// af 'a' er den 0te (første) karakter.
if ($pos2 !== false) {
echo "Vi fandt '$findme' i '$mystring2' som nummer $pos2";
}
?>
Hvis needle ikke er en streng, bliver den konverteret til et heltal og tilføjet som ordenstalværdien i et tegn.
Den valgfrie offset -parameter giver dig mulighed for at specificere ved hvilket tegn i haystack søgningen skal starte. Positionen returneret er stadig relativ i forhold til begyndelsen af haystack .
Note: Denne funktion er binary-safe.

Fast email validator using stripos to check for valid characters.
<?php
function validate_email($value) {
$chars="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789@._";
$at=0; /* at sign */
$dot=0; /* dot after at */
$end_pos = strlen($value)-1;
for ($i=0;$i<strlen($value);$i++) {
$c = $value[$i];
if (stripos($chars, $c)===false) return false;
if ($c=="@") $at++;
if ($at==1 && $c==".") $dot++;
if ($at>1) return false;
/* Don't start or end with an '@' or a '.'
* No @'s or .'s next to each other.
*/
if (($c=="." || $c=="@") &&
($i==0 || $i==$end_pos || $prev_c=="." || $prev_c=="@"))
return false;
$prev_c=$c;
}
return ($at==1 && $dot>0);
}
?>

I found myself needing to find the first position of multiple needles in one haystack. So I wrote this little function:
<?php
function multineedle_stripos($haystack, $needles, $offset=0) {
foreach($needles as $needle) {
$found[$needle] = stripos($haystack, $needle, $offset);
}
return $found;
}
// It works as such:
$haystack = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.";
$needle = array("fox", "dog", ".", "duck")
var_dump(multineedle_stripos($haystack, $needle));
/* Output:
array(3) {
["fox"]=>
int(16)
["dog"]=>
int(40)
["."]=>
int(43)
["duck"]=>
bool(false)
}
*/
?>

@henke:
No. It does NOT make a warning if the needle isn't found. This is false.
09-Dec-2007 06:48
This function will raise a warning if the needle was not found. Be sure to use @ to suppress it if you want the strpos like behavior of only returning false.

To shane_at_51smith-dot-nl
Fine but not useful if you want to use stripos 3rd param òffset´ for instance to find all occurences of `needle´.
Again rchillet and heavyraptor solution is best though you'd better keep to-lowercase strings outside the function if you're planning to loop through `haystack´ like this:
$lower_haystack = strtolower($haystack);
$lower_needle = strtolower($needle);
$offset = 0;
//... looping over haystack
while ($offset !== false) {
$offset = strpos($lower_haystack, $lower_needle, $offset);
//... some funny stuff here
}
Using rchillet-heavyraptor function here would slow down performance. Solution: don't invent any function

Yet another stripos for php4 alternative:
<?php
function stripos($haystack, $needle){
return strpos($haystack, stristr( $haystack, $needle ));
}
$strTest = "The brown fox jumped over the Fence";
echo stripos($strTest, 'fence');//30

I recommend using the solution by rchillet for <PHP5
michiels solution is quite slow if you use it for long strings or call it many times.
10-Jul-2006 11:03
Since the stripos-function is PHP5-only, the function below could give PHP4-users the same functionallity:
function stripos($string,$word)
{
$retval = false;
for($i=0;$i<=strlen($string);$i++)
{
if (strtolower(substr($string,$i,strlen($word))) == strtolower($word))
{
$retval = true;
}
}
return $retval;
}

improvement the function of heavyraptor with int offset parametre.
if (!function_exists("stripos")) {
function stripos($str,$needle,$offset=0)
{
return strpos(strtolower($str),strtolower($needle),$offset);
}
}
21-Mar-2006 02:59
If you're using PHP < 5, you can use this alternate function, same thing like stripos:
<?php
if (!function_exists("stripos")) {
function stripos($str,$needle) {
return strpos(strtolower($str),strtolower($needle));
}
}
?>
Such a logical function but I hope it helps ...

Just to be explicit, the position index returned by strpos starts at 0, not 1. e.g. strpos('abc','a') returns 0.

This functionality is now implemented in the PEAR package PHP_Compat.
More information about using this function without upgrading your version of PHP can be found on the below link:
