note 44001 added to function.strpos

i've got a little problem using strpos() when i try to find a needle beginning with and space, the function ignores thats space, like it makes internally an trim() onto the needly string. for example: $lsText = "i search for http:// and <a href="http://bla"> should be ignored"; $lsNeedle = " http://"; // leeding whitespace $liPos1 = strpos( $lsText, $lsNeedle ); $liPos2 = strpos( $lsText, $lsNeedle, $liPos1 ); in that case the $liPos2 shows me the beginning of the second http:// inside of the <a href tag. but that is not the thing i would like this method to do :) anyone an hint? ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+44001 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+44001&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+44001&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
