Bug #64877 [Com]: is_numeric() doesn't treat strings in binary notation as documented

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64877&edit=1 ID: 64877 Comment by: cmbecker69 at gmx dot de Reported by: cmbecker69 at gmx dot de Summary: is_numeric() doesn't treat strings in binary notation as documented Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: any PHP Version: 5.4.0 and later Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: | This is bugged also for hex numbers: The results are as expected according to the documentation. Note, that a hexadecimal number is only reported as being numeric, if it is in hexadecimal string notation (i.e. starting with 0x). The first example is correctly reported as being numeric, because the "e" is recognized as starting the exponential part of the number.
