Bug description: if (strpos("123","1")===true) doesn't work. if
(strpos("123","1")!==false) does
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
