Thought, I got the result. It said that 'pictures' is 13 string length. It isn't correct. I notice that I use different words. It shows that string length is added with 5 practically. You can see that 8 (pcitures) length + 5 add length = 13 string length. I don't know why it is. Reproduce code: --------------- function word_match($a=null,$b=null) { print("Orginal A: $a<br>"); $a_length = strlen($a); $b_length = strlen($b); $search = true; $length = 0; while($search) { if(substr($b,$length,$a_length)==$a) { $search = false; $result = true; }elseif($length>$b_length){ print("<b>Websatellite: A: $a B: $b ($length>$b_length)</b>"); $result = false; $search = false; } print("<b><br>Websatellite: ($a_length) ".substr($b,$length,$a_length)."==$a</b>"); $length++; } return $result; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32885&edit=1
