Fixes doc bug #67613 (Inconsistency in the documentation); patch by Patrick Schwisow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-08-22 22:17:30] james at notjam dot es According to the svn revision that changed that in stripos: > False doesn't cause mixed (howto/working) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-07-14 00:22:19] zuires at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.stripos --- Stripos returns eiter an integer or boolean, just like strpos. While strpos claims to return "mixed," stripos claims to return an integer. It is a little inconsistency which should be perhaps corrected so that same return values both have an equivalent return type in the documentation. Test script: --------------- mixed strpos ( string $haystack , mixed $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67613&edit=1
