Req #67855 [NEW]: No way to get current scale in use

From: daverandom Operating system: Any PHP version: Irrelevant Package: BC math related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:No way to get current scale in use Description: ------------ It's possible to change the scale in use for bcmath functions using bcscale(), but it's not possible to retrieve the current value. ini_get() only returns the default value from php.ini (as it should). Suggested fix would be to make the argument to bcscale() optional, and have it return the old value. Test script: --------------- var_dump(ini_get('bcmath.scale')); var_dump(bcscale(4)); var_dump(ini_get('bcmath.scale')); var_dump(bcscale()); Expected result: ---------------- string(1) "0" int(0) string(1) "0" int(4) Actual result: -------------- string(1) "0" bool(true) string(1) "0" Warning: bcscale() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given in /in/UPp6D on line 6 NULL -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67855&edit=1 --
