If you're not looking to duplicate the rest of the string, but instead just want the offset, in the spirit of the str*pos() functions, use strcspn()

A little modification to Evan's code to use an array for the second parameter :

<?php

function strpbrkpos($s, $accept) {
  $r = FALSE;
  $t = 0;
  $i = 0;
