Hi.

With substr_compare, the prototype should say ...

int substr_compare ( string $main_str , string $str , int $offset [,
int $length = max(strlen($str), strlen($main_str) - $offset) [, bool
$case_insensitivity = false ]] )

which looks a little complex, even when styled appropriately.

I think something like ...

int substr_compare ( string $main_str , string $str , int $offset [,
int $length = see below [, bool $case_insensitivity = false ]] )

and ...

"The length of the comparison. The default value is the largest of the
length of the str compared to the length of main_str less the offset.
"

for the $length parameter description may be easier.

Ideas?

I think you don't even need to put "see below":

  int substr_compare ( string $main_str, string $str, int $offset [,
                   int $length [, bool $case_insensitivity = false ]] )
