    <para>
     Returns the numeric position of the last occurrence of
     <parameter>needle</parameter> in the
     <parameter>haystack</parameter> string.  Note that the needle in
     this case can only be a single character in PHP 4.  If a string is passed
     as the needle, then only the first character of that string will
     be used.
    </para>
    <para>
     If <parameter>needle</parameter> is not found, returns &false;.
    </para>
    <para>
     It is easy to mistake the return values for "character found at
     position 0" and "character not found".  Here's how to detect
     the difference:
     <informalexample>
      <programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php

// in PHP 4.0b3 and newer:
$pos = strrpos($mystring, "b");
if ($pos === false) { // note: three equal signs
    // not found...
}

// in versions older than 4.0b3:
$pos = strrpos($mystring, "b");
if (is_bool($pos) && !$pos) {
    // not found...
}
?>
]]>
      </programlisting>
     </informalexample>
    </para>
    <para>
     If <parameter>needle</parameter> is not a string, it is converted
     to an integer and applied as the ordinal value of a character.
    </para>
    <note>
     <simpara>
      As of PHP 5.0.0 <parameter>offset</parameter> may
      be specified to begin searching an arbitrary number of characters into
      the string.  Negative values will stop searching at an arbitrary point
      prior to the end of the string.
     </simpara>
    </note>
    <note>
     <simpara>
      The <parameter>needle</parameter> may be a string of more than one
      character as of PHP 5.0.0.
     </simpara>
    </note>
