     Except when needle doesn't occur in string, in which case 

     "If needle is not found, strpos() will return boolean  FALSE."

     Checking strpos($foo,$bar) !== False is exactly right; since 0 ==
False,
you want to use !==, not !=.

If the string is in the first position does it not return a zero?

$needle = "a";
$haystack = "abcdef";

echo strpos($haystack, $needle);

returns 0

0 is not equal to false. But you are correct, if the string is not found
it returns the Boolean false, I should have been clearer.
