Simple PHP strpos function not working, why?

by

When in doubt, read the docs:

[strpos] Returns the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack string.

So you want to try something more like:

// ...
if (strpos($link, $unacceptable) !== false) {

Because otherwise strpos is returning a number, and you’re looking for a boolean true.
