strpos problem

[Anon]

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this code? (it's supposed to echo found if an open bracket is found in $dvdmodel)

$pos = strpos ("(", $dvdmodel);
if ($pos === true) echo 'found';

phpmanual: strpos (string haystack, string needle)

swap your needle and haystack order and it may work..

aside from that .. a non type sensitive test on $pos would help

strpos returns an integer if found, boolean false if not found.

$pos == true will evaluate to true if the needle exists.

Thanks syberchic, I can't believe I was looking at that for 20 minutes without noticing the needle and haystack were the wrong way round, duh.
