New Comment:
By that logic shouldn't it always return true then? There is an empty
string everywhere in a string. Before the first char, between each
char, etc. Not sure that is a useful result though.

Description:
------------
The function stripos() returns FALSE when a empty string is used.
Consider the example below, an empty string is used and it is found at
position 0. It is misleading (at least theoretically) that an empty
string is not found inside another string.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(stripos('test', 'te'));
var_dump(stripos('test', 't'));
var_dump(stripos('test', ''));
var_dump(stripos('test', 'es', 1));
var_dump(stripos('test', 'e', 1));
var_dump(stripos('test', '', 1));
var_dump(stripos('test', '', 2));
var_dump(stripos('', ''));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
int(0)
int(0)
int(0)
int(1)
int(1)
int(1)
int(2)
int(0)
Actual result:
--------------
int(0)
int(0)
bool(false)
int(1)
int(1)
bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(false)
