I see some strange results with strpos() function...
echo strpos("naše republika", "a"); // 1
echo strpos("naše republika", "š"); // 2
echo strpos("naše republika", "e"); // 4 ???
Can someone explain it to me? Thanks. (php 5.6.30)

5It counts in bytes, not characters (by default).... unless you've tweaked the `mbstring.func_overload` setting in your php.ini (not recommended) – Mark Baker Oct 17 '17 at 11:46

5Use `mb_strpos`. – brevis Oct 17 '17 at 11:46

5Read the manual http://php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php and [this user contributed note](http://php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php#118905). – Funk Forty Niner Oct 17 '17 at 11:47

Thanks @brevis - 'mb_strpos()' is the function I was looking for... – Böda Oct 17 '17 at 12:04

Here š occupy 2 positions so, count +2 for that character. so, n=0, a=1, š=2,3 & e=4 – Ashok Dhaduk Oct 17 '17 at 12:27
