Description:
------------
strpos($haystack,$needle);

When $needle is empty (""), the text of the warning is unclear, it says "empty 
delimiter". The word "delimiter" makes no sense in this context.

Test script:
---------------
strpos("lkjsbsjfdb", "");

Expected result:
----------------
Warning: strpos(): Empty needle in XXX on line YYY

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: strpos(): Empty delimiter in XXX on line YYY
