#21060 [Opn->Bgs]: range() gives warning and returns false when low == high

ID: 21060 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: cnb@freedomink.org -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Linux 2.4.18 PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-12-16 (dev) New Comment: 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 Nothing wrong with this behaviour, the low & high point are the same, hence the false output indicating failure. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-12-17 01:13:37] cnb@freedomink.org <?php range(2,2); ?> Warning: range() [http://www.php.net/function.range]: step exceeds the specified range in - on line 3 Numerous scripts expect range() to return the low (or high) value (in this case 2 ) when low == high. This is useful in cases where the low and high values are dynamically generated. But since the default step is 1, there is a warning and a FALSE returned when low == high. http://freedomink.org/code/php/patches/array.c.patch The above patch makes range return low when (low == high). Please comment. - Chandrashekhar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21060&edit=1
