ID: 42213 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: aries dot belgium at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.2.4RC1 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Numbers starting with a 0 are octal numbers and there is no such thing as "8" there.

Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $a = intval(08); $b = intval('08'); var_dump($a,$b,08); ?> Expected result: ---------------- int(8) int(8) int(8) Actual result: -------------- int(0) int(8) int(0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42213&edit=1
