Bug #23215 strstr does not return return all from found needle to the end of the string
Submitted: 2003-04-14 20:24 UTC Modified: 2003-04-14 22:04 UTC

Status: Not a bug Package: Strings related
PHP Version: 4.3.0 OS: linux redhat 8.0
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Example of the bug:

$teststring="John\0Smith";
print strstr($teststring,"oh");

It will now only print out 'ohn', because strstr only returns to the '\0' and not the rest of the string.

Please double check both your PHP version and your test script.  strstr() is binary safe in PHP 4.3.0

Local test with your exact script returns:

ohnSmith

Additionally, var_dump(strstr($teststring,"oh")); returns:

string(9) "ohnSmith" which reveals the hidden (non-printing) null character.

If you have additional information which can lead to the reproduction of this bug, please feel free to add it here and reclassify the bug to 'open'.
