* I suggest using strpos and testing with
* the false using triple equals instead of this function.
* If you don't have strpos, than update your php.
* Using the original intent of this function
* if $needle is in $haystack return the pos (starting from 1)
* and 0 on fail or can't find
* If you want to check if they are strings you can before the if statement
* or in the if before checking for pos
