It's a pity that it doesn't...

Here's a multibyte enabled workaround for stripos:

function mb_stripos($haystack, $needle, $offset = 0) {
     return (mb_strpos(mb_strtolower($haystack),
mb_strtolower($needle),$offset));
}

Where does it say that this function supports UTF-8 ?

Hi sniper. First of all I'm using Firefox.

Check the TXT at http://www.zefxis.gr/temp/stripos.txt

Thanks!

It's more likely your browser sending them like that.
Put them as txt file somewhere in the web or use some other browser
than IE.

Your bug submission system escaped the greek characters. Please view
them unescaped to see what I mean. The first letter of the greek word
is the capital Sigma in the first string, and the small Sigma in the
second string.
