PHP - go to position in the data string

[JackTheKnife]

I have a big data string where I'm searching for a needle position (strpos). Is there any way to go to positions right behind a needle (strpos + strlen)?

I have something like:

$x = strpos($data,$value);
$y = $x + strlen($value);
$follow = strstr(substr($data, $y, $offest),'|');

but in that case I need to set $offset of the data behind the "|" not just simple jump after that and add new data there :\

strpos()-x? Not sure what you're asking really.

You can index into the string using [] or use substr.

I have changed my code above and used substr_replace() instead of str_replace()

is this binary data or text?

Text based data

 

[Whatsisname]

is it ascii or unicode

Now it is ascii, but sooner or later will be loaded unicode

You should describe your problem at a higher level, it's still not clear to me what you're trying to do. Give example input and output.
