Which documentation are you using? The _body_ of the documentation for the functions you're talking about describes their return types correctly. (Yes, the one line summary is "find the last occurance of a char in a
string", which is logically correct)

I haven't found this topic in the bug database.

the docs say, both strrpos and strrchr "find the last occurance of a char in a string".
thats wrong.
- strrpos finds the last occurance of a string in a string, and returns the position.
- strrchr finds the last occurance of a string in a string, and returns the string from the position up to the end.

Testprogram:
<h1>strrchr() / strrpos()</h2>
<?
  # sttrchr/strrpos documentation bug
  # testprogram
  # Author: tjabo <email protected>

  $haystack = "bla.deoa.se_blah.deschnorg";
  $needle = ".de";
  $needle2 = 'o';
  print "Haystack = $haystack<br>n";
  print "Needle = $needle<br>n";
  print "strrchr: " . strrchr($haystack, $needle) . "<br>n";
  print "strrpos: " . strrpos($haystack, $needle) . ":" . substr($haystack,strrpos($haystack, $needle),strlen($needle)) . "<br>n";
?>
