Once you get used to it, you'll find that, althoguh PHP still sucks, it's not as bad.

Huh?

[Banana fanna fo fanna]

you can't do
if (strpos(haystack, needle))

you need to do

if (! (strpos(haystack, needle) == false))

[Maddox]

It works for me under PHP 4.3.8 and 5.0.0.

Doesn't for me under 4.3

[Maddox]

Try upgrading? 4.3.9RC1 was just released today.

Alas, I cannot, for I am stuck with what my clients hosting has.

Try

Code Select Expand

if (strpos (haystack, needle) === false)
This is why they created the === operator.
But you are right about PHP sucking... use instead preg_match. You might have better luck. Or just use Perl (you will never have the stupid problems).

I'd be using Python or CF, except hosting situation has forced PHP upon me.
