Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66179&edit=1 ID: 66179 Comment by: xuefer at gmail dot com Reported by: david at grudl dot com Summary: var_export() exports float as integer Status: Re-Opened Type: Bug Package: Variables related PHP Version: 5.5.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Not sure if this is the same problem http://3v4l.org/ZRPXO var_export(5.3); echo "\n"; var_dump(5.3); echo "\n"; outputs: 5.29999999999999982236432 float(5.3) in this case luckily 5.29999999999999982236432 == 5.3, and it pass ($a === eval('return ' . var_export($a, true) . ';')) definition but i give this example to show that var_dump is better (looking) than var_export on double value so please take it seriously Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-07-03 16:48:04] vrana@php.net ($a === eval('return ' . var_export($a, true) . ';')) should result in true for any given $a. "1" isn't a correct representation of float(1) as it results in int(1). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-29 22:30:09] bwoebi@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php A float(1.0) is stored as a float(1) (it's the same), so var_export(1.0) outputs 1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-27 09:41:30] utkarsh dot parekh at yahoo dot in If you try this var_export(2.1245) returns "2.1245". It is right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-11-26 15:56:35] david at grudl dot com Description: ------------ var_export(1.0) returns "1" instead of "1.0" in all PHP versions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66179&edit=1
