<?php

$query="insert into users (user_name) values 'user_name'";

if (strpos(strtolower($query),"select")==0)
{
   print "FISH!";
}

?>

Amazingly enough this prints FISH!.

but:

$query="insert into users (user_name) values 'user_name'";

if 
(strpos(strtolower($query),"select")==0&&!(strpos(strtolower($query,"select")===FALSE))
{
   print "FISH!";
}

does not.

Thats the documented and expected behaviour.

Sorry, but it works correct.

In your sample $query has no "insert", therefore strpos 
returns 0 (not found), as desribed in the manual.

strpos has a bug.

the following statement should give 1, but gives zero:

echo strpos(strtolower('C'), 'c');

please ignore my previous comment, i'm dumb... should be checking for false, as 
zero is a valid offset.
