Re: [PHP4BETA] Can not do a strpos after a fgets

Hello Lane, strpos returns an empty string if the target string is not found, or an integer (which could be 0 if the target string was found at the location 0 in the source string). So, make sure that you evaluate the if statement correctly. Try to change it as follow: if( is_int(strpos($buffer,"#")) ) echo "found it"; Cheers, Ly --- Lane Fowler wrote: > > I can not seem to read in a like from a file and test to > see if it has a tag in it.
