[PHP] weird problem in php

[weetat]

Hi all ,

 I have using php 4.3.2 and mysql database.

 I have a form which have select tag which have the value for example 
-New York.


 When use submit the form , i need to find the first occurence of - , 
i use strpos function as shown below :


$country = $_POST['country'];
$findme  = '-';
$pos = strpos($country, $findme);

if ($pos === false) {
  $_logger-logdebug(starting searchChassisTblDB() not found);
} else {
  $_logger-logdebug(starting searchChassisTblDB() found);
}

however it always give false . I did not know why.
Then i did a testing , added below code in the php file without form 
submission, it give true value which what i wanted. Anybody have ideas 
or suggestion what happening ? Any difference when value submitted from 
form ? Thanks


$mystring = '-New York';
$findme  = '-';
$pos = strpos($mystring, $findme);
if ($pos === false) {
   echo The string '$findme' was not found in the string '$mystring';
} else {
   echo The string '$findme' was found in the string '$mystring';
   echo  and exists at position $pos;
}

why don't you echo $_POST['country'] to see  what you get?

Perhaps there is a problem with the HTML for your select box.
var_dump($_POST) in your PHP code to check if the value is
being sent correctly.
