Re: [PHP4BETA] propose for bool -> string conversion:

That doesn't mean the function isn't working. The function is defined to return a number from 0-n on a match and "" (false) on a failure. It's not the most consistent thing in the world, but having it return 1, for example, would also suck because then you would have to fudge the return value when you wanted to use it directly as a string index. ie. $string[strpos($a,"a")]; -Rasmus
