#18858 [Com]: conversion problems with pow() ?

ID: 18858 Comment by: raz0@worldonline.dk Reported By: raz0@worldonline.dk Status: Open Bug Type: *Math Functions Operating System: Windows 98 SE PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: Note: you can still cast the string to an integer like this: <? pow((int)$_GET['size'], 2); ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-08-11 12:04:52] raz0@worldonline.dk I don't know if this is a bug, but it seems that pow() doesn't convert strings to integers like other functions. For instance if you have the variable $_GET['size'] and you try this... <? pow($_GET['size'], 2); ?> ... pow() will produce an error because $_GET['size'] is still a string (I tested var_dump($_GET['size']) and it says it's a string). Hope this helps in the further development of PHP :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18858&edit=1
