stripos and strpos boolean

[cweaver]

How do I get this to work

if (stripos($HayStack, $Needle))
{

} 

when $Needle is the first part of $HayStack? Both stripos and strpos return 0 in this case, which if interprets as false. The manual warns against this, but I couldn't find a clear solution to the problem there.

And I did try

if (stripos($HayStack, $Needle) === true) 

and

if (stripos($HayStack, $Needle) != false) 

but they didn't work either.

Any ideas?

if ( stripos($HayStack, $Needle) && substr( $HayStack, 0, len($Needle) == $Needle ) )
{

}

if ( stripos($HayStack, $Needle) && substr( $HayStack, 0, len($Needle) == $Needle ) )
{

} 

I didn't get this to work, but I did get this to:

 if ( stripos($HayStack, $Needle) || substr( $HayStack, 0, strlen($Needle)) == $Needle  ) 

Thanks for the help. I wouldn't have thought of it.
