    Hi,

    As I said on IRC. It seems this behavior is unique to PHP 5.2.4 (at least 5.2.3 seems to behave just like 5.2.5), where it also did not match the documentation. I suggest you file a doc bug (ideally with patch) if there is no such bug report yet.

    Oh, didn’t noticed the answer. Is this considered a regression or was it a bug fix in 5.2.5? I would guess the latter.

    It seems to be a fix in 5.2.5. There are a few points though:

    1) I did not find anything in the changelog from a quick skim
    2) Apparently there was not a test case to catch this regression before 5.2.4 was released
    3) There should be a note in the strpos() docs
    4) Potentially also in the upgrading guide

    Feel free to fix 2)-4) with patches :)

    Was the case on usrportage.net. Fixed that.

    Of course. The regression was in 5.2.4. A test to avoid this for the future is committed to php-src.

    Sure,
    You can also notice that my comment was added at 19:48 while I’m using a php version from the future (build timestamp is at 20:43).
    My php has special powers then :)
