Re: Bug #1323 Updated: strpos and 0th indexed strings

Please clarify, if you would, what you mean by check it correctly. I cannot use a statement like... if ( strpos( "abc", "a" ) ) echo "character was found<br>\n"; else echo "character was not found<br>\n"; ...because this code snippet outputs... character as not found ...which is not the intended result. Further more, the 2 statements... printf( "pos of \"%s\" in \"%s\" is %d<br>\n", "a", "abc", strpos( "abc", "a" ) ); printf( "pos of \"%s\" in \"%s\" is %d<br>\n", "z", "abc", strpos( "abc", "z" ) ); ...output... pos of "a" in "abc" is 0 pos of "z" in "abc" is 0 How do "check it correctly"? How do I tell that the "needle" was not found versus the "needle" was found at the beginning of the "haystack"?
