Not a bug. If the found string occurs at the first position
in the string, that position will be 0, as you noted. 0 is
a false value, so '0 == false' is true.

There are various ways around this. One is to use the 
PHP 4-only 'identical' operator, ===. This tests to make
sure that the operands are both equal and of the same type.

$haystack = "/test";
$needle = "/";
$position = strrpos($haystack, $needle);

if ($position === false) {
    echo "Not found";
} else {
    echo "Found at position $position";
}

Another is to do something like:

$position = strrpost("x$haystack", $needle);

...which would force any found strings to be at least 
at position 1.

S'pose I should close it now...:)

Actually, the function works as expected, but the documentation lacks the little comment about the three equal signs found in the documentation for strpos. An additional note in the predefined constants section about FALSE is defined as ZERO would be helpful, too. Unfortunately, I don't have CVS access so I can't do the changes myself.

Documentation fixed for strrpos()
