Doc #65262 [NEW]: Return type should be mixed

From: michael at zedeler dot dk Operating system: N/A PHP version: 5.5.0 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Return type should be mixed Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.strpos#refsect1-function.strpos-description --- The signature is written as: int strpos ( string $haystack , mixed $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] ) This is wrong since strpos can return FALSE, so the signature should be: mixed strpos ( string $haystack , mixed $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] ) (Which I find silly, but alas, that is the way things are(tm).)
