From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: FreeBSD 4.3 PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: strpos() ignores first character in haystack When performing a string search with strpos() on a string variable the function totally ignores the first character. For example: $astring = "abc defg hij kl"; if (strpos($astring, "abc")) { echo("found\n"); } else { echo("not found\n"); } When running the above script "not found" is echoed instead when, in fact, "found" should be echoed. Here's my ./configure from phpinfo(): ./configure' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc/php.standalone' '--disable-pear' '--enable-versioning' '--with-system-regex' '--disable-debug' '--enable-track-vars' '--without-gd' '--without-mysql' '--with-zlib' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--enable-ftp' '--with-curl=/usr/local' '--enable-sockets' '--prefix=/usr/local' 'i386--freebsd4.3' A possible workaround would be: $astring = "abc defg hij kl"; $astring = " " . $astring; if (strpos($astring, "abc")) { echo("found\n"); } else { echo("not found\n"); } The above code echoes "found".
