The position and occurrence parameters are optional. If position is omitted the search starts at the beginning of the main string. If
occurrence is omitted the function returns the position of the first occurrence of the substring.

If position is a negative number, then the start position is counted backwards from the end of the string.

If the substring is not found within the main string the function returns 0.
