Quite the contrary, mfrazer@udel.edu, the example you provided does not print String Found: <?php $test = strpos("test string", "test"); if ($test) { print "String Found"; } else { print "String not found"; } ?> Output: String not found. Using the same method, but searching for "string", which occurs at position 5 of the string: <?php $test = strpos("test string", "string"); if ($test) { print "String Found"; } else { print "String not found"; } ?> Output: String Found The same first demo, but altered to work, note the '!==': <?php $test = strpos("test string", "test"); if ($test !== FALSE) { print "String Found"; } else { print "String not found"; } ?> Output: String Found -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16177 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16177 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16177
