Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30036&edit=1 ID: 30036 Comment by: miker at yahoo-inc dot com Reported by: marek at lewczuk dot com Summary: In_Array not works when array contain booleans Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Arrays related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 4.3.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: sniper@php.net, can you describe the reasoning behind this behavior? Currently, I'm inclined to agree with Marek that this is bug-like behavior. Thank you. Mike. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-15 11:36:33] marek at lewczuk dot com Right, it works with 3rd parameter, but it is not the point - is string "test" equal to boolean "true" ? Even if we are not comparing variable types, then "test" is not equal to "1". For example, I have an array with strings, integers, boolean - I'm looking for any "123" value - I don't care if this is an integer or string - the value is important. In this case, I can't use in_array with 3rd parameter, because it will not find all all correct values. examples: in_array('232', array(232, '232', true)) this will return true - correct in_array('232', array(232, true), true) this will return false - correct in_array('232', array(233, '233', true)) this will return true - wrong In my opinion this is not correct behavior... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-15 10:56:57] sniper@php.net Use the 3rd optional parameter (for strict search) which makes in_array() to check the type too. NOT a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-09 10:04:27] marek at lewczuk dot com Description: ------------ When you have an array with boolean values, then in_array will always return true. Reproduce code: --------------- print in_array("test it", array(true, true, "sdsd" => true)) Expected result: ---------------- should return false Actual result: -------------- true ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=30036&edit=1
