At php.net, the following paragraph is the first thing in the definition of  
strpos: 
 
"Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the  
haystack string. Unlike the strrpos() before PHP 5, this function can take a  
full string as the needle parameter and the entire string will be used." 
 
I find the reference to "strrpos" confusing, coming this early in the  
definition.  This is the definition of strpos, not strrpos.  That is, the  
paragraph would make a lot more sense if it read: 
 
"Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the  
haystack string." 
 
Dragging in "strrpos", which used to have a restriction on "needle", seems  
pointless, and worse, confusing. 
 
But, before I report this as a problem, I'd appreciate some feedback on  
this.  If I'm the only person who finds this confusing, I'll just go away  
and be quietly confused.
