Hi Alex,
Actually that's not quite correct either.
Negative offset values mean the end of string is moved to the left by
the magnitude of the specified value plus one.
E.g. strripos('abcdef', 'b', -4) will search the string 'abc' for 'b'.
I've updated the manual to be a little more explicit.

Description:
------------
the description says:
"offset may be specified to begin searching an arbitrary
number of characters into the string. Negative values
will stop searching at an arbitrary point prior to the
end of the string."
And I think the right definition is:
offset may be specified to begin searching an arbitrary
number of characters into the string. Negative values
will START searching at an arbitrary point prior to the
end of the string.
