Bug #68002 [NEW]: GMP throwing warnings for invalid numbers
From: Rican7 at gmail dot com
Operating system: CentOS
PHP version: 5.6.0
Package: GNU MP related
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:GMP throwing warnings for invalid numbers
Description:
------------
Prior to PHP 5.6, you could pass a non-numeric string to gmp_init()
and it would simply return false, allowing you to handle any bad input
errors yourself with a boolean check.
Since the changes to GMP in PHP 5.6, gmp_init() will throw an
uncatchable warning: "Unable to convert variable to GMP - string is not
an integer".
Now, when writing libraries that use GMP, the library has to duplicate
the internal validations to avoid throwing an error.
This would be ok if there was some sort of public API for the GMP
validation, but there isn't.
Test script:
---------------
$gmp = gmp_init('doge'); // Throws warning on 5.6
Expected result:
----------------
$gmp = gmp_init('doge');
var_dump($gmp); // yields "bool(false)"
Actual result:
--------------
$gmp = gmp_init('doge'); // Throws warning
var_dump($gmp); // yields "bool(false)"
