Description:
------------
Searching for a string in an integer using strpos() returns integer 0 if (integer % 256) is the lowest ASCII value of any character in the search string, or the highest ASCII value of any character minus 256.

Otherwise it returns boolean false as expected.

Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump(strpos("A", 65));
var_dump(strpos("A", 66));
var_dump(strpos("B", 65));
var_dump(strpos("B", 66));


Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
int(0)
bool(false)
bool(false)
int(0)

If needle is not a string, it is converted to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.

Hint: chr(65) == 'A', chr(66) == 'B'
