# strpbrk

(PHP 5)

strpbrk -- Search a string for any of a set of characters

## Description

string strpbrk ( string haystack, string char_list )

strpbrk() searches the haystack string for a char_list, and returns a string starting from the character found (or `FALSE` if it is not found).

> Note: The char_list parameter is case sensitive.

Example 1. strpbrk() example
`<?php $text = 'This is a Simple text.'; // this echoes "is is a Simple text." because 'i' is matched first echo strpbrk($text, 'mi'); // this echoes "Simple text." because chars are case sensitive echo strpbrk($text, 'S'); ?>`
