Description:
------------
The prototype for strpos() at http://dk2.php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php is

  int strpos ( string haystack, mixed needle [, int offset] )

however, as it says below 

  If needle is not found, strpos() will return boolean FALSE.

So the return value should be "mixed". Same for the functions mentioned in "see also" for strpos() and ereg().

We have already discussed this one, and although I agree with you, we voted for not changing it.
