Description:
------------
substr_compare shouldn't output warning and return FALSE if the "length" parameter *equals* the length of main_str. It should do that only if length > strlen(main_str).

---------------
echo substr_compare("abcd","abcd",0,4);




Expected result:
----------------
it should do the same as this (return 0):
echo substr_compare("abcd","abcd",0);


Actual result:
--------------
Warning: substr_compare() [function.substr-compare]: The start position cannot exceed initial string length in ...
