I reported this as a documentation issue using the web form found from
the manual. The response was to report it as a bug. So I did. Now I
will go back and report it again as a documentation issue and submit my
own documentation comment.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

strpos doesn\'t return true on success but the position

Description:

This is a problem with === true and !== true whether used with strpos
or with array_search and presumably with other functions.

This also fails under PHP 4.3.10 on FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE,
but that is a hosted server and I can't upgrade it to test.

I have done further testing and found that 
checking for === false or !== false is OK:
=== false works when statement is true
=== false works when statement is false
=== true doesn't work when statement is true
=== true works when statement is false
!== true  doesn't work when statement is true
!== true  works when statement is false
!== false works when statement is true
!== false works when statement is false
Pls get in touch if you would like the code to show that. 


Reproduce code:
---
?php

if (strpos(hey,h) === true) print 1. worked \n;
else print 1. didn't work\n;
if (strpos(hey,h) !== false) print 2. worked \n;
else print 2. didn't work\n;
?


Expected result:

1. worked
2. worked


Actual result:
--
1. didn't work
2. worked
