I need to count the number of occurences of the substring in a string.

my code like,

$str1 = "when he arrives, he want to open the door.";
$find_str = "he";

here the string "he" is occured 4 times.

how can i find it in php?..

I have tried by using preg_match_all(); but its not worked fine.. — Naveen K

Make use of the substr_count php function.

Solution:

$str1 = "when he arrives, he want to open the door.";
$find_str = "he";

substr_count($str1, $find_str);
