Re: [PHP] strpos error (I'm missing something obvious)
Kevin, I think I addressed that in my last message, if a bit indirectly. strpos will never return a boolean true. It will only ever return either the integer where the needle is found in the haystack, or false if said needle is not found in said haystack. Check the Return Values section at http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php Regards, Carlton Whitehead Kevin Murphy wrote: I fixed this by changing === TRUE to !== FALSE, so I think I am good to go now.

Re: [PHP] strpos error (I'm missing something obvious)
Kevin,
Try this instead:
$site = "http://www.wnc.edu";;
$referer = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
echo $referer;// the output is correct at: http://www.wnc.edu/test/
if (is_int(strpos($referer, $site)))
{
echo "yes";
}
Why did I make this change? strpos returns an integer representing the
position of the needle ($site) in the haystack ($referrer). For more
info, see http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php.

Carlton Whitehead

1. All functions in PHP are lowercase. Do not UPPERCASE your functions.
Its Just Not Right.
Case in function names does not matter. It does matter in variable names.

2. You should always pass a full url (ie, with the scheme and host) to
the Location header.
3. You need a space after Location:
4. There is no need for ."" at the end of your Location: string.

Because strpos returns the integer offset of the found substring, or FALSE
if not found; it *never* returns TRUE. (You need the !== test because
strpos() can return an offset of zero, which would be ==FALSE but not
===FALSE.)

That's half right. strpos actually *can* return false as opposed to 0,

[PHP] strpos
Hello everybody
I am currently working on an rtf to html converter, and for this i need
a function that can find a specific control word in the file. Because of
the sheer number control words in the rtf standard, I have to be shure
that I have the control word, by examining the trailing character. In
som instanses there may be an number, but never another letter.
Therefore I have made a loop, which currently is infinite ;) , that
should keep on searching.
I have but one litte problem, and that is strpos().
When I use the function bellow, and there is no occournce of the control
word, strpos shoul return false, but instead i returns 1, which is not
the intention. Does anybody here have an idea about what I am doing wring???
function _searchControlWord($word, $trailingNumber = false, $position = 0)
{
// We need the length to be able to examine the trailing character
$wordLength = strlen($word);
// Determine which regular expression is needed
$trailingNumber ? $regex = "[a-zA-Z]" : $regex = "[a-zA-Z0-9]";
// begin infinite loop, we will break out when we find it
while (1) {
// find position of occurrence and add one, we are not
interested in the backslash
// also helps ud when we need to find the next occurrence,
if needed
$position = strpos($this->fileContent, "\\".$word,
$position) + 1;
if ($position === false) return false;
// Examine trailing character
$trailingCharacter = substr($this->fileContent, ($position +
$wordLength), 1);
echo $trailingCharacter." - ";
if (!ereg($regex, $trailingCharacter)) {
return $position;
}
}

With a moment of studying to your comment, I am beginning to see why I am having the problem. I add the 9 in the first two lines of code, so I didn't realize that I would have encounter the problem if I didn't add the 9. Well, I seem to have problem understanding the word, 'offset' to the strpos() function because it is a bad choice of word but that is understandable when I use this function the first time and not understand it.

You should avoid statements like "_ doesn't work" (try "I can't get it to work" or "it doesn't work for me") and "It's probably a bug with"... Anyway, strpos() is working exactly like it's supposed to... Consider this code: $t = "** string string string"; $l = strpos($t,"string"); // $l == 3 Now, if you tell strpos() to start searching at offset 3 for the same exact string, it's going to find the same occurence because you're telling it to start looking exactly where it found it last time. So, naturally, you need to advance the character position by at least one to find subsequent occurences. This isn't a workaround.

Re: [PHP] strpos() act funny when searching for "]]>"....
Yea, it's a ">" and not a ">".. It is pure XML tags Found the problem now, so no problem now. See other branch of this posting of a workaround to the problem I did...

Re: [PHP] strpos() act funny when searching for "]]>"....
Um, it seem to work. That's weird. Should have check for the string length first, so I wasn't looking at the same problem. So, I did further debugging and I'm going to post the script here. Still don't know what is the problem here... --snip-- $XML_Start = (strpos($res_str,"",$HTML_Start); $XML_End = strpos($res_str,"]]>",$HTML_End); echo $XML_Start." ***XML Start"; echo $XML_End." ***XML End"; echo $HTML_Start." ***HTML Start"; echo $HTML_End." ***HTML End"; echo strlen($res_str); --snip-- The response I got here is... --snip-- 319 ***XML Start 119843 ***XML End 25650 ***HTML Start 119843 ***HTML End 120015 --snip-- As we see, the number for $XML_End and $HTML_End are the same which is not correct because there are two seperate "]]>" near the end of hte string. So, I still don't know what hte problem is... Scott F.

[PHP] strpos
I suppose I'm doing this right? I want to know if the user entered
"\.jpeg" or "\.jpg". If he didn't, it should error.
It errors anyways? What do I have to do add slashes in my ???
:o)
// if((!strpos($yourimage, "\.jpg")) || (!strpos($yourimage,
"\.jpeg"))) \\ <--- tried both!
if((!strpos($yourimage, ".jpg")) || (!strpos($yourimage, ".jpeg")))
{
error_found("error found");
$errorfound++;
}
