How to count only (-) in string using php ?
normally i usually use below code to count all char length in string using php
$count = mb_strlen( $string );
But i want to know how can i count only dash sign (-) in string using php ?
EG:
$string = "1-2-3-4-5-";
after count dash sign (-) result will be 5

The most simple is use the function substr_count()
$str = 'some-class-of-css';
echo substr_count($str, '-'); //3
