strpos

$haystack = ",18,19,42,";
$needle = ",18,";
if (strpos($haystack,$needle)) {
	echo 'TRUE';
} else {
	echo 'FALSE';
}	

This returns FALSE. 

What am I missing?

The problem is in the function name 'strpos' being at the beginning, the position will be 0, so 0 will be treated as false. The position of needle text placed anywhere but the beginning will be greater than 0, meaning true.

You need to check against not being false within the if condition and make sure you use !== compared to != with single equals symbol.
