Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-08 22:04:12] pmoulding@tedis.com.au When I write a function as xxx(1.0, 1.8); The function receives 1 and 1.8, not 1.0 and 1.8. I tried get_func_arg() and other tricks but the 1.0 is converted to int(1) before it available for processing. Could we have a language construct named: get_func_arg_untouched_virginal_string_as_entered() which keeps the parameter as a string? I need to keep some numeric data in the original input format so it can be verified as typed and passed to other systems in the original format. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21537&edit=1
