I really doubt this will change.
It would be a *huge* mess in the docs and peoples scripts and brains
if we did change it--it wouldn't really win anyone anything:
function portable_strpos($needle, $haystack) {
if (version_compare(phpversion(), "6.0"))) {
return strpos($needle, $haystack);
} else {
return strpos($haystack, $needle);
}
}
--Wez.
