Req #54078 [NEW]: Array / string functions parameter inconsistence

From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.5 Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Array / string functions parameter inconsistence Description: ------------ In the string and array functions the $needle and $haystack parameter doesn't have the same order. From the documentation: int stripos ( string $haystack , string $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] ) mixed array_search ( mixed $needle , array $haystack [, bool $strict ] ) This is a very confusing inconsistence for me, since I program now PHP for several years, I cannot accustom on this. And I'm sure not the only one -> maybe a change for the next version 5.4 or 6.0?
