Bug #80339 [Dup]: fatal error on calling strrpos

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80339&edit=1 ID: 80339 Updated by: nikic@php.net Reported by: info at backups dot nl Summary: fatal error on calling strrpos Status: Duplicate Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: ubuntu server PHP Version: 8.0.0RC3 Block user comment: Y Private report: N New Comment: Don't think there's much point in taking this to the mailing list, I doubt the resolution is going to change. Out of bounds indexes have always been considered an error condition for strpos-style functions (see for example https://3v4l.org/30HoR). These error conditions have become exceptions in PHP 8 in line with general guidelines. strrpos() in particular did not throw a warning before due to an implementation oversight -- however, this has been fixed in PHP 8 as the treatment of strpos() and strrpos() must be the same for obvious consistency reasons.

I now have to check the haystack before calling strrpos, $haystack=''; $pos = strrpos($haystack, '.', -1); May other issue was brutally closed for replies. https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80336 I don't understand why as the last answer given by you is incorrect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=80339&edit=1
