PHP String Contains with Shadowbox

I'm using shadowbox to display media based on URLs from a database.

Some of the media are images and some are websites and some are flash movies

I wish to check if an image contains "http://" meaning it's a website (all images and flvs start with "media/"), and if it does contain http:// then I wish to display it at a different size.

I've tried using strpos() to check if http:// is part of the string but for some reason I'm having difficulty getting it to display correctly.

Here is a sample of my code:

        $first = 0;
  $iQuery = mysql_query("SELECT * from media WHERE project='$projectTitle' ORDER BY weight ASC");
   while($irow = mysql_fetch_array($iQuery)){
   $mediaLink = $irow['link'];
   //produce photostream
    $contains = strpos($mediaLink, "http://");
             if($contains === false){
    if($first==0){
     $photostream .= "<a href=\"$imageLink\" rel=\"shadowbox[$projectTitle];width=919;height=538\" onmouseover=\"tooltip.show('$tooltip');\" onmouseout=\"tooltip.hide();\"><img src=\"$projectThumb\" width=\"109px\" height=\"109px\"></a>";
    } else {
     $photostream .= "<a href=\"$imageLink\" rel=\"shadowbox[$projectTitle];width=919;height=538\"></a>";
    }
    $first++;
       }else{
                if($first==0){
     $photostream .= "<a href=\"$imageLink\" rel=\"shadowbox[$projectTitle];width=1024;height=768\" onmouseover=\"tooltip.show('$tooltip');\" onmouseout=\"tooltip.hide();\"><img src=\"$projectThumb\" width=\"109px\" height=\"109px\"></a>";
    } else {
     $photostream .= "<a href=\"$imageLink\" rel=\"shadowbox[$projectTitle];width=1024;height=768\"></a>";
    }
    $first++;
   }

In theory, my code should check to see if the string contains http:// (if it does it'll return 0, if it doesn't it should return false), and then manipulate my photo-stream as appropriate but frustratingly doesn't output ANY of the photo-stream if it's detected.

Cheers for any help you can offer. Dan
