Testing the strpos() Return Value in PHP
What Is the Best Way to Test the strpos() Return Value?
✍: FYIcenter.com
Because strpos() could two types of values, Integer and Boolean, you need to be careful about testing the return value. The best way is to use the "Identical(===)" operator. Do not use the "Equal(==)" operator, because it does not differentiate "0" and "false". Check out this PHP script on how to use strpos():
<?php $haystack = "needle234953413434516504381640386488129"; $pos = strpos($haystack, "needle"); if ($pos==false) { print("Not found based (==) test\n"); } else { print("Found based (==) test\n"); } if ($pos===false) { print("Not found based (===) test\n"); } else { print("Found based (===) test\n"); } ?>
This script will print:
Not found based (==) test Found based (===) test
Of course, (===) test is correct.
