Author #38209 [NEW]: return value of ereg, strpor, etc. is mixed, not int

From: thuejk at gmail dot com
Operating system: all
PHP version: Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: return value of ereg, strpor, etc. is mixed, not int

Description:
------------
The prototype for strpos() at
http://dk2.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php is

int strpos ( string haystack, mixed needle [, int offset] )

however, as it says below

If needle is not found, strpos() will return boolean FALSE.

So the return value should be "mixed". Same for the functions mentioned in
"see also" for strpos() and ereg().
