#33189 [Opn]: error in definition of strripos

ID: 33189 Updated by: aidan@php.net Reported By: alex at idoia dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: debian linux PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Hi Alex, Actually that's not quite correct either. Negative offset values mean the end of string is moved to the left by the magnitude of the specified value plus one. E.g. strripos('abcdef', 'b', -4) will search the string 'abc' for 'b'. I've updated the manual to be a little more explicit. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-30 19:51:36] alex at idoia dot com Description: ------------ the description says: "offset may be specified to begin searching an arbitrary number of characters into the string. Negative values will stop searching at an arbitrary point prior to the end of the string." And I think the right definition is: offset may be specified to begin searching an arbitrary number of characters into the string. Negative values will START searching at an arbitrary point prior to the end of the string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33189&edit=1
