[tantek]2 this seems like a pretty big change in PHP 8 and I like it - out of range requests in string functions now return an empty string instead of false, e.g. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.substr.php "If an invalid character range is requested, *substr()* returns an empty string as of PHP 8.0.0; previously, *`false`* was returned instead."
