Why is strpos working the first time, but not the second? - php

Question

I´m using strpos two timer. In the first if/else it works well but in the second it doesn´t work. This is my code:
if (strpos($word, "mono") == true) {
$type = "Monobloc";
} else {
$type = "Articulated";
}
if ($word, "galva") == true) {
$coating = "Galvanized Rod";
} elseif (strpos($word, "epoxi") == true) {
$coating = "EPOXI 100%";
} elseif ($word, "electro") == true) {
$coating = "Electrozinced";
}
Example:
If the variable word has the value "galva-mono" $type should be "Monobloc" and $coating should be "Galvanized Rod". The problem is that it is assigning well the $type but in the coating it doen´t enter in the if clause.

Answer 1

As stated in the official documentation:
Warning
This function may return Boolean FALSE, but may also return a
non-Boolean value which evaluates to FALSE. Please read the section on
Booleans for more information. Use the === operator for testing the
return value of this function.
You are checking the result with == true instead of !== false.
So, try this code:
if (strpos($word, "mono") !== false) {
$type = "Monobloc";
} else {
$type = "Articulated";
}
if (strpos($word, "galva") !== false) {
$coating = "Galvanized Rod";
} elseif (strpos($word, "epoxi") !== false) {
$coating = "EPOXI 100%";
} elseif (strpos($word, "electro") !== false) {
$coating = "Electrozinced";
}
