mb_strrpos throws a warning if $haystacc is empty. 
strrpos simply returns FALSE.

This is something to be wary of if overloading the mb functions.

"Negative values will stop searching at an arbitrary point prior to the end of the string. " ist misleading.
The needle may not fully part of searchrangue, defined by a negative offset. 
A negative offsets marcs the last byte, where a search could start.
<?php
$test = "Hallo, Herr Gött";
var_dump(strlen($test));                       // int(17)var_dump(mb_strrpos($test,'ött',13));  // int(13)var_dump(mb_strrpos($test,'ött',-4)); // int(13) 17-4 = 13var_dump(mb_strrpos($test,'ött',-5)); // bool(false)?>
