a quick test shows stripos beating strpos.
<?php
$str = 'asSAFAASFDADSfasfjhalskfjhlaseAERQWERQWER;.dafasjhflasfjd';
$search = 'fdasASDFAafdas';
$start = microtime();
strpos($str, $search);
$end = microtime();
$r1 = $end - $start;
$start = microtime();
stripos($str, $search);
$end2 = microtime();
$r2 = $end2 - $start;
echo "strpos: $r1\n";
echo "stripos: $r2\n";
if($r2 < $r1) {
echo 'stripos is faster' . PHP_EOL;
}
?>
