ID: 45662 Updated by: felipe@php.net Reported By: geoff at darktrojan dot net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2.6 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 Says the documentation: 'version_compare() compares two "PHP-standardized" version number strings.' PHP doesn't use 'pre'. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-07-31 01:31:00] geoff at darktrojan dot net Description: ------------ To allow correct comparison of Mozilla versioning numbers (e.g. comparing user-agent strings), the token 'pre' should be added to version_compare. Mozilla use pre to indicate a pre-alpha release (e.g. 3.0a8pre is earlier than 3.0a8). pre should have the same status as dev in /ext/standard/versioning.c Reproduce code: --------------- echo version_compare ('3.0a8pre', '3.0a8'); Expected result: ---------------- -1 Actual result: -------------- 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45662&edit=1
