Perhaps using the === operator would solve this: if ($ini === 0) return ""; would be evaluated as false if strpos($string,$start) returned "0" (as in "position zero"), but evaluated as "true" if strpos($string,$start) returned false (ie, boolean zero). Does this make sense? (I'll need to give it a try to know for sure.) I hope this helps.
