ID: 15691 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: mjohnwood@hotmail.com -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Any PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: Changing this behavior will break way too many scripts, so it's absolutely not a good idea to change this behavior. Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-23 15:12:51] mjohnwood@hotmail.com It would be boundlessly helpful if someone could make strpos(), etc. return a -1 instead of FALSE like C++/Java. Returning a FALSE (something that casts to an integer of 0) doesn't seem to make much sense. Even if it can be worked around with strpos() === FALSE, it would be a lot easier without having to rely upon it. Any reason why it should be using FALSE instead of -1? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15691&edit=1
