Using regex in a string for strpos()

Try using the PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE flag for preg_match. Something like this:

preg_match('/Title: .*/', $open_email_msg, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);echo $matches[0][1];

This should give you the initial position of the string.

Note that the regex I'm using could be wrong and not take into account line endings and stuff, but that's another subject. :)

EDIT. A better solution for what you want (if I understand it correctly) would be something like this:

$title = preg_match('/Title: (.*)/', $open_email_msg, $matches) ? $matches[1] : '';

You'd then get the title into the $title variable, and an empty string if no title was found.

php regex strpos

You can use preg_match instead of strpos for regex

preg_match (regex, $string, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE gives you the position of match.
