    This is the first one that comes to my mind:

And this is why they're inconsistent to begin with. When I look at strpos() I think: strchr(char *, int) So the parameter ordering does make sense there (to me).

    Yes, coming from a C background you would think like that.
    But when you think about it with some logic (not women's logic :):

    "I'm looking for a character inside a string."

Or looking for a *needle* in a *haystack*. -ryan

    Thus: strpos(needle, haystack) is the correct way (tm) =)

I agree, though I don't really care so long as its the same in all the str* and array* functions -ryan
