#39338 [NEW]: Unexpected answer from if statement dealing with zeros.

From: spideybr at gmail dot com Operating system: Ubuntu 4 PHP version: 4.4.4 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Unexpected answer from if statement dealing with zeros. Description: ------------ I've got a "GET variable" called $codArea in my script. Just before the if statement an echo on the variable would return me "asd" (just to test it, the normal would be integers btw). Inside the { } in the if structure, it also echo's "asd". The problem is, the statement which is returning TRUE (so the script goes inside de if brackets) is ' $codArea == 0 ' without the single quotes. Just look in the code and you'll understand. Not a type conversion misusage, I guess. Reproduce code: --------------- //script.php?area=asd on the address bar and on links $codArea = $_GET['area']; //Creating the "GET variable" echo $codArea; // returns "asd" if ($codArea == 0) { echo $codArea; // returns "asd" echo ($codArea == 0); // returns "1" } //All values are printed on the screen without the quotes Expected result: ---------------- asd Actual result: -------------- asd asd 1 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39338&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39338&r=mysqlcfg
