ID: 9238 User Update by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: Closed Bug Type: Strings related Description: strpos() cannot indicate success when matching char is first Thank you. I would recommend making a minor point in the documentation to clarify the requirement of checking against false (or != false) explicitly. I imagine many people would be bitten by this little gotcha, particularly when coming from C backgrounds where if !() is used for if () == false. Thanks for the swift response. Your suggested work-around works just fine. =Rob= Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-13 12:48:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] all you need is if( false !== strpos($SSL_PROTOCOL,"SSL")) || false !== (strpos($SSL_PROTOCOL,"TLS")) ) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-02-13 07:39:38] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sample script: (Note, this will never report SSL even when $SSL_PROTOCOL=SSLv3 or TLSv1) <?php echo $SSL_PROTOCOL; echo "<BR>Your connection method is: "; if ( (strpos($SSL_PROTOCOL,"SSL")) || (strpos($SSL_PROTOCOL,"TLS")) ) { echo "SSL!"; } else { echo "non-SSL!"; } ?> The documentation says strpos() returns FALSE if no match. But what about a match on the first character (index 0)? Seems like the index returned should have been 1-based instead. The routine is flawless when the code is rewritten thusly: <?php echo $SSL_PROTOCOL; echo "<BR>Your connection method is: "; if ( (strpos($SSL_PROTOCOL,"SL")) || (strpos($SSL_PROTOCOL,"LS")) ) { echo "SSL!"; } else { echo "non-SSL!"; } ?> configuration line for PHP4 build: Command './configure' '--with-mhash=/usr/local' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--enable-trans-sid' '--with-mm=/usr/local' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-zlib' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-imap=/usr/local' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-gmp' '--with-gd' '--with-cpdflib' '--with-pdflib' '--with-tiff-dir' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--with-png-dir' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--with-db3' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.14' OpenSSL 0.9.6, mod_ssl/2.7.1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9238 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
