Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.stripos
---

Stripos returns eiter an integer or boolean, just like strpos. While strpos claims to return "mixed," stripos claims to return an integer. It is a little inconsistency which should be perhaps corrected so that same return values both have an equivalent return type in the documentation. 


Test script:
---------------
mixed strpos ( string $haystack , mixed $needle [, int $offset = 0 ] )

According to the svn revision that changed that in stripos:
