Hello all,

I want to know how functions like strcon() and other string-based functions work so I can better understand the code behind them.

Also, my shared server doesn't give me full access to their PHP core so I just wanted some advice.

Thanks to those who respond,

Hello Hunter100,

You can freely download the PHP source in here, and extract it with an appropriate file compression tool (i.e. 7-zip)

PHP 5.6.3 (latest stable) source code release:
PHP: Get Download

You could certainly find functions throughout the source with a text searching utility, Cygwin includes grep or you could use a Windows version of this function
Windows Grep: Grep for Windows

The standard exported functions would be defined as PHP_API functionname, following the code for the specific function and most of the string related functions would be in the file /etc/standard/string.c.

I am uncertain however of the function you are looking up, strcon is not a standard function for the PHP library, do you mean to say you wish to look at the code it generates was this a typo?

Alexander.

What you have provided is fine. Yes, that was a typo.

Thank you for the resources.
