#25243 [Bgs]: casting to int behavior weird

ID: 25243 User updated by: elite_eagle67 at hotmail dot com Reported By: elite_eagle67 at hotmail dot com Status: Bogus -Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem +Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: windoze PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Ok then I move this to a feature request. Im asking then that if the behavior of array to int, object to int, etc is predictable and in the manner I described IE any non integer value will be converted to 0 when casted to int as you think it would be. Thanks.

Now this obviously doesn't make sense as you cast to (int) so you can see if a variable has a valid INTEGER variable, NOT if it is the integer equivilent of a * boolean * value. Ofcourse, an empty array in this example will return 0, as would be expected behavior for a BOOLEAN cast, not integer howerever... I'm unaware how (string) cast deals with this, possibly similiar but if so, then just apply this bug report to that ;) Reproduce code: --------------- $array = array( 'yay' => 'boo!' ); if((int)$array) { echo (int)$array; } else { echo (int)$array; } Expected result: ---------------- 0 Actual result: -------------- 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25243&edit=1
