Description:
------------
THe description is currently "string strrchr(string $haystack,string $needle)". The needle should be of mixed type as later in the documentation it says:

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

Plus the example even shows this!:
// get everything after last newline
$text = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";
$last = substr(strrchr($text, 10), 1 );

Thanks, Mike

The same applies for strstr and stristr.

Thanks, Mike

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
