PHP 4.0 Bug #7763: strrpos returns unclear value

From: timo@fi-web.de Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.0.3pl1 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: strrpos returns unclear value The following code doesn't work as expected: $haystack = "/test"; $needle = "/"; $position = strrpos($haystack, $needle); if ($position == false) { echo "Couldn't find $needle"; } It seems that strrpos returns false, even if the position of the needle was 0 (It is the first position in the string, isn't it?). strrpos should return 0 if the needle was found in haystack at position 0 and FALSE if the needle wasn't found. Additionally, strrpos also returns 0 if the needle wasn't found in haystack. Maybe FALSE and 0 are defined as the same in that context? IMHO, 0 and FALSE should be defined different, or strrpos should NOT return a value (like unset) if the needle wasn't found in haystack.
