PHP: strrpos() vs strpos()
I normally wouldn't post about such trivial matters, however this particular trivial matter bugged me for several hours this afternoon, so I thought I mention it.
It seems that one of the problems of coding on a development server that runs PHP 5 for a production server that runs PHP 4 is the subtle differences in the language. These subtle differences can really throw a spanner in the works [like one did to me this afternoon.]
Basically my development code used the strrpos() function to attempt to find the first occurrence of a string within a string. While this worked just fine with PHP 5, it bombed big time with PHP 4 [which will only find the first occurrence of a single character.] Apparently I should have been using the strpos() function instead!
Oh well, live and learn.
