Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-02-06 15:45:58] thomas dot hebinck at digionline dot de Description: ------------ Up to PHP 5.5.9 gmp_init() called with an empty string as argument had the same result as called with a zero. In PHP 5.6 Alpha 1 (and the current snapshot) this call throws a warning. This breaks existing code. Test script: --------------- echo gmp_strval(gmp_init('')); Expected result: ---------------- "0" Actual result: -------------- Warning: gmp_init() [function.gmp-init.php]: Unable to convert variable to GMP - string is not an integer in /SPACE/ww3/www/wws/130009.php(103) : eval()'d code on line 1 "0" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66657&edit=1
