PHP foreach and strpos newbie

Question

Why doesn't this work?

$statement = array(
   images_name[0] => 'small_01.jpg', 
   images_name[1] => 'large_01.jpg', 
);

foreach ($statement->images as $image): 
if (strpos($image->name, 'small')) { 
    echo ('yes');
}
endforeach

I can print the image name without problem but strpos is not working.

A strpos work, but it returning 0 - position of your word in filename.
Better solution:

strstr($image->name, 'small') !== false

Strstr function will return false when string not found or position when found.

You must use:

foreach ($statement->images as $image)
  if ( strpos($image->name, 'small') !== false ) { 
    echo ('yes');
  }

Explained here: http://us3.php.net//manual/en/function.strpos.php

Also, if you want to know why you need the use of "!==" or "===" read this: How do the PHP equality (== double equals) and identity (=== triple equals) comparison operators differ?
