If You use the STRPOS and you don't find anything it will return FALSE
FALSE has the Value 0.
Now, If You are looking for a sub-string and it is located on the beginning
of the String, it will return 0.

You are not able anymore to distringuish if it is in the string at pos 0
or not.

FALSE is defined as the empty string "" which strpos() will return when a match is not found.  If a match is found in the first position it will return 0.
