Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60795&edit=1 ID: 60795 Comment by: anon at anon dot anon Reported by: ben at bravenet dot com Summary: strpos() paragraph is misleading Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: "This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return 0, which evaluates to FALSE when compared with the == operator. Please read the section on Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-18 22:50:51] jam at zoidtechnologies dot com All that needs to be done is to remove the "...such as 0 or """ from the end of the "warning", and it will be much less misleading. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-18 22:44:16] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Perhaps something like: "This function can return FALSE or 0. Both evaluate to the same thing when using ==." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-18 22:28:18] ben at bravenet dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.strpos#refsect1-function.strpos-returnvalues --- In the docs it says: -- This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE, such as 0 or "". Please read the section on Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return value of this function. -- This should be rewritten to something less ambiguous because an empty string can never be returned by this function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60795&edit=1
