The function strpos is looking for the string "Content-Type", in my $_POST array? i don't get this.

From a test in the PHP section , i found this function : strpos( $array, 'Content-Type' ). As this is inside a foreach loop, and the array is the _POST, i tough it was looking for any instance of my array, to find any value containing that string, but i was wrong.

foreach( $_POST as $value ){

if( stripos($value,'Content-Type:') !== FALSE ){

   echo "There was a problem with the information you have entered.";

    exit();

}

}
