Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52919&edit=1 ID: 52919 Updated by: cataphract@php.net Reported by: ghazanfar dot ahmed at magsnet dot net Summary: if does not work properly of strlen even if typecasted -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Centos 5.5 PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N New Comment: Sorry, I didn't read the comment. Re-opened. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-24 03:36:23] cataphract@php.net Expected behavior. 3 > 7 is false, hence the else block will be executed... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-23 23:54:27] felipe@php.net This makes no sense... No way to reproduce such thing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-23 22:50:34] ghazanfar dot ahmed at magsnet dot net Sorry, it prints "CHECK IF" where it should print "CHECK ELSE" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-09-23 22:46:23] ghazanfar dot ahmed at magsnet dot net Description: ------------ IF does not produce correct result when strlen is used to calculate length of a string which is an integer Test script: --------------- //IF does not seem to evaluate properly $row['number'] = 700; //in my case if was value retrieved from mysql // force typecasting $number = (string)$row['number']; if(strlen(trim($number)) > 7) { print "CHECK IF"; } else { print "CHECK ELSE"; } //It will always print "CHECK ELSE" where strlen($number)=3 (computes correctly) // where 3 > 7 is false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52919&edit=1
