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
