Bug #16568: string comparison features give opposing results

From: lent@fstrf.org Operating system: SunOS 5.6 PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: string comparison features give opposing results NOTE: in the examples below the $myrow array is a string array populated by an ingres select statement. if $myrow[6] is null going into the first example then $myrow[6] will not be set to &npsp, but in the second example it will. Shouldn't these two examples be equivalent? Also strcmp function behaves like example 1. EXAMPLE 1: trim($myrow[6]); ($myrow[6]) == " " ? $myrow[6] = " ") EXAMPLE 2: trim($myrow[6]); (ord($myrow[6]) == 32 ? $myrow[6] = " "); -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16568&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16568&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16568&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16568&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16568&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16568&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16568&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16568&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16568&r=submittedtwice
