Bug #62633 [NEW]: strcasecmp does not warn user if both params are not strings

From: iam4webwork at hotmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Scripting Engine problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:strcasecmp does not warn user if both params are not strings Description: ------------ When I provide strcasecmp with two parameters where one is TRUE and the other is a string, php does not generate a warning to say that the first parameter needs to be a string and silently converts TRUE to "1" and executes. Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump(strcasecmp(TRUE, "bob")); // -49 Expected result: ---------------- I expected a parser error message. Actual result: -------------- -49 -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62633&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62633&r=mysqlcfg
