Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The second operand is converted to the first operand type, in this case the string '' is converted to an integer, as there are no numeric parts of '', as it needs to be some sort of value it is assigned 0.
