Please provide a short but _complete_ reproducing script. (one that starts with <?php, ends with ?> and can be simply copy'n'pasted to run.

foreach ($buffer_Infile1 as $VAL1) {
    	        foreach ($VAL1 as $VAL2){
    	            $VAL2=trim($VAL2);
    	            $POSP=stripos($VAL2,".");//<<<<<<<<
