Regarding the function by spam at wikicms dot org It is very bad practice to use the same function name as an existing php function but have a different output format. Someone maintaining the code in the future is likely to be very confused by this. It will also be hard to eradicate from a codebase because the naming is identical so each use of stripos() would have to be analyzed to see how it is expecting the output format (bool or number/bool). Calling it string_found() or something like that would make a lot more sense for long-term use. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 70.116.53.57 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.stripos.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116818 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116818/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116818/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116818/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116818/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116818/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116818/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116818 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116818 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
