Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-12-06 20:35:28] mail dot cmcm at gmail dot com Description: ------------ I basically have this code in a project (in a private static function): $a = false; $var = "overview"; switch($var) { case "overview": $a = true; break; case "details": break; } console($a); And with PHP 7.3 the result is "false"! Doesn't happen with PHP 5.6-7.2. I tried to reproduce this bug outside my project, but couldn't. However I see nothing in my code that could produce such an odd result. In fact if I add the console output (via ChromePhp) like this case "overview": $a = true; console($a); break; I get "true" on both outputs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77257&edit=1
