Why are you doing a === to true? strpos is clearly documented to return a integer specifying the position in the string on a match or false on a failure. It will never return true. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-19 22:09:19] a dot bendilas at zefxis dot gr Description: ------------ Although strpos returns the position of the needle correctly, when testing the return value with a boolean operator to see if it's true, it produces the opposite result. Reproduce code: --------------- $string = 'Once upon a time in America'; $srchstring = 'time'; $position = strpos($string, $srchstring); echo 'String: '.$string.'<br />'; echo 'Search string: '.$srchstring.'<br />'; echo 'Position of search string: '.$position.'<br />'; if ((strpos($string, $srchstring) === true)) echo 'Search string is included in the original string!'; else echo 'Search string is not included in the original string!'; Expected result: ---------------- Search string is included in the original string! Actual result: -------------- Search string is not included in the original string! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30158&edit=1
