stristr change not documented in 4.2.3?

Hello. A) Can someone explain whether or not the change shown below should have been listed in the 4.2.3 changelog? It changes the behaviour of stristr, which can cause code that executes cleanly on older versions to generate a warning on 4.2.3(even though the warning is valid, and points out a problem with the user's PHP code :) --------------------------------------------------------- hartmut@six.de (Hartmut Holzgraefe) wrote in <cvshholzgra1031224321@cvsserver>:

Log: in stristr: this check was in the wrong place, the real version was some lines below, this one assumed the type was 'string' in any case now it looks like strstr [snip]

--------------------------------------------------------- B) As an aside, I tried to post this question three times, in three different newsgroups, on the "news.php.net" server: Sept 30th in php.dev and php.qa, Oct 01 in php.doc, but in all three cases my post did not show up on the server. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I routinely post to newsgroups on various servers, but this is the first time I've tried on the news.php.net server.
