28,843 PointsIssue with PHP Code Challenge: "Using Strpos: Searching for Cookie"
The code challenge starts out written correctly, and it actually forces you to make the code incorrect in order to move on to step two. Once in step two, it no longer accepts the incorrect code, and forces you to change it back to what it was in order to complete the challenge.
On a side note, the challenge name refers to the function “Strpos” when we’re actually using “Stripos”, which is relevant to the challenge, as “cookie” is not capitalized but “Cookie Dough” is. The other challenges in the same section correctly name it as “Stripos”.

10,702 PointsIt happened to me, took me a while to figure out what the trick, try this: Apparently your code looks like this:
if (stripos($var1,$initial) == 0 && stripos($var2,$initial) == 1)
But it should be like this:
if (stripos($var1,$initial) == 0 && stripos($var2,$initial) == 0)
change the 1 at the end to 0, and its gonna work.
