ID: 46004 User updated by: roland dot dufour at multiprog dot net Reported By: roland dot dufour at multiprog dot net Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Windows Vista Ultimate French PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: With a non strict condition, the expected result is : bool(true) bool(false) bool(true) And, with a strict condition, the expected result is : bool(false) bool(false) bool(true) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-05 15:33:49] roland dot dufour at multiprog dot net Description: ------------ When I try a non strict condition 0 == 'test', PHP return true. Reproduce code: --------------- // Non-strict condition var_dump((0 == 'test')); var_dump((1 == 'test')); var_dump(('test' == 'test')); // Strict condition var_dump((0 === 'test')); var_dump((1 === 'test')); var_dump(('test' === 'test')); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) bool(false) bool(true) I don't understand why a condition 0 == 'test' return true. I discovered this "bug" by exploring the keys of a table via the instruction "foreach". My code was then: $options = array( array(), // an array array(), // an other array 'refProduct' => 'test' // a value ); foreach ($options as $k => $option) { if ('refProduct' == $k){ continue; } // Instructions... } Curiously, only my secondary table ("an other array") was executed by "Instructions...". Actual result: -------------- bool(true) bool(false) bool(true) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46004&edit=1
