#48391 [NEW]: strpos accepting arrays

From: anon at example dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.2.9 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: strpos accepting arrays Description: ------------ I think strpos would be greatly improved if the needle could be an array - much like preg_match, but without needing the complication of regex. The only way around this atm is a foreach loop. Reproduce code: --------------- Code 1 - currently foreach(array('searchterm1', 'searchterm2') as $needle) if(strpos($haystack, $needle) !== FALSE) return strpos($haystack, $needle); Code 2 - why isn't this allowed? strpos($haystack, array('searchterm1', 'searchterm2')) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48391&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48391&r=mysqlcfg
