note 32683 deleted from function.strpos by didou

Note Submitter: mph0879@aol.com ---- Just a quick note... maybe this has already been covered, but this pertains to using the === operator. I have a script that takes an enum or set , puts the individual options into a multiple-selection box, and automatically sets each option to "selected" if it's stored in the DB. However, I was running into a problem... the first enum or set item would never pass the test... The orginal code read as follows: // $pertainsTo is a "set" type with a list of operating systems // $elem is the individual element found in the set if strpos ($pertainsTo, $elem) { echo "selected "; } I used the === trick (for comparing a varibale to 0), but that only selected the first one. Finally, this worked: $pos=strpos($pertainsTo, $elem); if ( $pos === 0 || $pos ) { echo "selected "; } If you already know this sorry, if not, glad I could help :)
