I am trying to right an if statment using strpos to determine if the
string exists in the variable, however I seem to be getting the wrong
effect. Here is my script.
<?php
$dn = "ABC-DEF";
$pos = strpos( $dn, "ABC-DEF" );
if ( $pos != FALSE )
{
echo 'variable contains value';
}
else
{
echo ' variable does not contain value' ;
}
?>
It keeps returning does not contain value. I am kinda new to strpos,
any suggestions?
Yes, read the manual. :-)
It is such a common mistake php.net shouts a warning when describing the
function.
Read this:

Warning
This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a non-Boolean
value which evaluates to FALSE, such as 0 or "". Please read the section on
Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the return
value of this function.

I think yours is a typical 0 that evaluates to false.
