From: dmdeathmaker@aol.com Operating system: Win9x PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: Variable doesnt Exist if the value of the Variable is Zero hi, anyone i know who trys to test a variable do it this way: for Example a URL-Submitted value: (http://localhost/somephp.php?variable=0 dont works) (http://localhost/somephp.php?variable=1 works) (http://localhost/somephp.php?variable=2 works) Global $variable; if ($variable) { echo "Variable Exist"; } else { echo "Variable dont Exist"; } You perhaps use it too ... the problem is :) if the variable is value anythings fine til the point the variable-value ist zero ... thats the point the variable exist nomore ... only way to proof the existens is if (strlen($variable)!=0) echo "variable exist"; i think thats a bug ....
