I really doubt this will change.
It would be a *huge* mess in the docs and peoples scripts and brains
if we did change it--it wouldn't really win anyone anything:
function portable_strpos($needle, $haystack) {
if (version_compare(phpversion(), "6.0"))) {
return strpos($needle, $haystack);
} else {
return strpos($haystack, $needle);
}
}

This is the first one that comes to my mind:
int strpos (string haystack, mixed needle [, int offset])
And this is why they're inconsistent to begin with. When I look
at strpos() I think: strchr(char *, int) So the parameter
ordering does make sense there (to me).
Yes, coming from a C background you would think like that.
But when you think about it with some logic (not women's logic :):
"I'm looking for a character inside a string."
Or looking for a *needle* in a *haystack*.

Thus: strpos(needle, haystack) is the correct way (tm) =)
I agree, though I don't really care so long as its the same in all
the str* and array* functions
