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).

<?php

$text = 'This is a Simple text.';

// this echoes "is is a Simple text." because 'i' is matched first

echo strpbrk($text, 'S');
?>
