Note Submitter: gz at example dot com ---- tomcraig: If the search string is in the first position (i.e. position[0]), then your coditional will resolve to false. anonymous: "The function should return TRUE on any non-zero value." The strpos() function never returns true. It returns, as daniel says, either false or an integer. That includes 0, which evaluates to false if using "==". Also note that the manual text (as you yourself quote it) says that, in the case of an unsuccessful search, the if expression evaluates to true, not that the strpos() function returns true (which, again, it never does). Mark: "Try it with == TRUE. It works fine..." Sure it does, as long as the search string is not in the first position. The manual and daniel are correct.
