This will not do what you expect it to. Since 'John' is the 
first thing in the string strpos will return 0 causing the 
condition to evaluate to false.

As per the documentation for strpos you should compare the value *and
type* of the variable returned by strpos against false to check 
for non-existance.

if (strpos($name, 'John') !== false) { ... }
