Description:
------------

From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.strstr#refsect1-function.strstr-description
---

The sentence

"Returns part of haystack string from the first occurrence of needle to the end of haystack."

does not mention, that needle is included in the resulting string. The normal reader of the above description expects that the result starts after needle. Better would be:

"Returns part of haystack string from the first _character_ of needle to the end of haystack."

Best regards, Harald Friedrich
