would just like to suggest creating a new function (perhaps called strset) that takes a haystack as its first parameter and a string of needles i.e. a string each of whose characters will be looked for in the haystack.  finding ANY of those characters the function should return the index.

would be very useful to have this.

Could you explain more clearly with examples?

strset("This is a sample haystack", "ixbt") returns 3 because "i" was found in the haystack.

strset("This is a sample haystack", "xbt") returns 0 because none of the characters in "xbt" are found in the haystack

strset("This is a sample haystack", "xbts") returns 4 because it finds it at the end of "this"

syntax: strset(haystack, needles)

essentially strset is a function that iterates through the needles testing for the presence of each in the haystack.

preg_match() and PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE helps. No need for yet another very seldomly needed string function here.
