Yeah, it can be tricky. I followed C's conventions for these string
functions since they do exactly the same thing as their C equivalents. I
think the confusion is that with the regex functions the pattern to be
matched comes first. Not sure why I did that, but I am sure there was
some logic behind it. This stuff dates all the way back to PHP1 many
years ago and it has just propogated through the various versions.
