note 61136 added to function.strpos

I have on many occasion used strpos...but i always use a dodge to get around the 0 / false return. $findme = "a"; $haystack = "abcd"; $pos = strpos($haystack, $findme); $pos will be 0.... so i do this.... $findme = "a"; $haystack = "abcd"; $pad = "X";//or anything i ain't looking for...:P $haystack = $pad . $haystack; $pos = strpos($haystack, $findme); $pos cannot be 0.. ---- Server IP: 85.116.0.130 Probable Submitter: 62.253.128.11 (proxied: 86.15.188.197) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61136 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61136&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61136&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61136&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61136&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61136&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61136&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61136&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61136&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
