#18680 [NEW]: Logical OR fails after value passes through session

From: su-php@bossi.com Operating system: Win2K PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: *Programming Data Structures Bug description: Logical OR fails after value passes through session PHP version 4.1.1 (Hey it's an internal test bed, no outside connection) I am saving user options in an array. The array is then saved to the session. the basic variables are: $TIME_FORMAT_12 = 0x01; $TIME_FORMAT_24 = 0x02; $DATE_FORMAT_YMD = 0x04; $DATE_FORMAT_MDY = 0x08; $DATE_FORMAT_DMY = 0x10; $opt['time'] = $TIME_FORMAT_24; $opt['date'] = $DATE_FORMAT_DMY; At this point, the array holds numeric values. Now $opt[] is saved to the session. When it is read back in, I believe the two values are no longer numeric. If you OR the base values: echo "Val: ".($TIME_FORMAT_24 | $DATE_FORMAT_DMY); echo "Val: ".($opt['time'] | $opt['date'); you get 18 or 0x12. However if you OR the $opt values _after_ they have been retrieved from the session: echo "Val: ".($opt['time'] | $opt['date'); you get 36. I have tried (strval($opt['time']) | strval($opt['date'))) but it still fails. I am using the composite value to perform a logical AND to obtain the settings: if ( $format_in & $DATE_FORMAT_DMY ) within a function. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18680&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18680&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18680&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18680&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18680&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18680&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18680&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18680&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18680&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18680&r=globals
