Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-15 05:29:48] hholzgra@php.net not only related to for, '--' behaves different for (string)2.1 than it does for (float)2.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-15 01:28:00] yohgaki@php.net Version update. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-15 01:20:41] yohgaki@php.net It seems type jaggling problem to me. AFAIK, PHP should convert type depends on the context. for() is the exception? Then it should be explicitly documented. Openned again to make this clear :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-15 00:44:08] mfischer@php.net Interesting approach, but why do you quote 2.1 ? It says that $num is the _string_ "2.1" and not the number 2.1. Just nuke the quoes for $num = 2.1; and you're done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-14 23:44:34] killyoubye@263.net I run below on win2000: <? $j = 0; $num = '2.1'; for ($i=$num;$i>1;$i--) { echo "i== $i<br>"; if ($j++ == 10) break; } ?> but I get the output: i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 I think something may be wrong with the operator '--'.Maybe I am right. Good lunk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15037&edit=1
