Description:

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

I reached the strpos page from a link on the stripos page that read 'unlike _strpos_, stripos is case-insensivive'. There is no reciprocal link on strpos man page.

The strpos manual page makes no mention of its case-sensitivity either: because it would be helpful, and for continuity's sake, I feel it would be appropriate to for the strpos page to contain a recpirocal link to stripos with similar verbiage: 

'Unlike _stripos_, strpos is case-sensitive'.  <-- suggested addition to strpos

Thank you!

Test script:
---------------
N/A. This is a report for missing documentation regarding strpos() case-sensitivity.

It should be expected that string functions are case sensitive for them to be useful, at all.

It is therefore not necessary to state explicitly that a string function is case sensitive, it is only necessary to state when string functions are case insensitive.
