Problem: MarkCII [http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=430&t=324045&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a reported] that for PHP 4 environments, Joomla! gives this error message when Articles are submitted from the frontend:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: stripos() in /libraries/joomla/environment/uri.php on line 675"

Articles are still successfully posted,

Possible resolutions:

* Add this to the end of /libraries/joomla/utilities/compat/php50x.php
<source lang="php">
if(!function_exists('stripos')) {
 function stripos($haystack, $needle, $offset = 0) {
  return strpos(strtolower($haystack), strtolower($needle), $offset);
 }
}
</source>

* OR - Upgrade to PHP 5. PHP 4 end of life was August 8, 2008. There will not be any more PHP 4 releases, even for security. (Switching PHP versions may cause problems with some 3rd Party Plugins - be sure to test thoroughly).

* OR - Ignore until Joomla! 1.5.8 since the Article is saved correctly.  However, if you are having problems with user logins this will not be appropriate.
