Find occurrences of a word

Navigation
1

I have a text and I would like to find certain words, but in the way I am doing it it is with substr_count() I can only find the word as I wrote it.

Example 

$text = "Eu sou um Menino e gosto de brincar com outros MENINOS";
$count= substr_count($text , 'menino');
echo $count;

The result of this will give 0 because as the function is case sensitive will not find me the other words, how to circumvent it?

To avoid case sensitive you just have to turn both strings into uppercase or lowercase, eg: 

$count= substr_count(strtoupper($text), strtoupper("menino"));

That way your phrase will turn: 

"EU SOU UM MENINO E GOSTO DE BRINCAR COM OUTROS MENINOS"

And your other argument turns: 

"MENINO"
