Bug description: strpos() ignores first character in haystack
When performing a string search with strpos() on a string variable the
function totally ignores the first character. For example:
$astring = "abc defg hij kl";
if (strpos($astring, "abc")) {
echo("found\n");
} else {
echo("not found\n");
}
When running the above script "not found" is echoed instead when, in fact,
"found" should be echoed. Here's my ./configure from phpinfo():
./configure' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/php.standalone'
'--disable-pear' '--enable-versioning' '--with-system-regex'
'--disable-debug' '--enable-track-vars' '--without-gd' '--without-mysql'
'--with-zlib' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--enable-ftp'
'--with-curl=/usr/local' '--enable-sockets' '--prefix=/usr/local'
'i386--freebsd4.3'
A possible workaround would be:
$astring = "abc defg hij kl";
$astring = " " . $astring;
if (strpos($astring, "abc")) {
echo("found\n");
} else {
echo("not found\n");
}
The above code echoes "found".
