I was reading the info regarding the changes from php4 to php5 and read this:
strrpos() and strripos() now use the entire string as a needle.
Not sure exactly what this means if someone could explain.
thanks, Stan
"Needle" is used to refer to a search, like "Finding a needle in a haystack". The needle is what you're searching for, the haystack is what you're searching in.
well i think (just from context here) that the php4 versions searched for every character in the needle string individually (don't know how that would work - i'm probably wrong) but now they take the needle as a string, not a list of characters.
