# strspn

(3.0.3 - 3.0.18 only, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

strspn -- Find length of initial segment matching mask

## Description

``int strspn` (string str1, string str2)`

Returns the length of the initial segment of `str1` which consists entirely of characters in `str2`.

The line of code:

    $var = strspn("42 is the answer, what is the question ...", "1234567890");

will assign 2 to `$var`, because the string "42" will be the longest segment containing characters from "1234567890".
