is there any function out there in C to know the position of a string in another string? i mean, like a strpos() function from PHP? if any code out there is available, id really appreciate that!

The function is strstr().

i mean, that function should return the position (probably an array index) of the string inside the bigger string?
so something like this:
--Code:int strpos(char *haystack, char *needle) { char *p = strstr(haystack, needle); if (p) return p - haystack; return -1; // Not found = -1. }
