#39531 [NEW]: soft evaluation between integers and strings

From: jakobsg at gmail dot com Operating system: All PHP version: 4.4.4 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: soft evaluation between integers and strings Description: ------------ This is pretty straight forward. The soft evaluation (==) feature in php can be nice, personally I never use it, but I acknowledge that it can be useful in some situations. The result of the following evaluation however is not acceptable by any means (even in soft evaluation): 0 == '0' (true, and acceptable) 0 == 'o' (true, really!!!) 0 == 'o' are equal ... Common - this can only lead to errors. Best regards Jakob Simon-Gaarde Reproduce code: --------------- var_export(0=='o'); Expected result: ---------------- false Actual result: -------------- true -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39531&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=39531&r=mysqlcfg
