ID: 27434 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: sidou at sidou dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: LINUX or WIN32 PHP Version: 4.3.4 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 RTFM: http://nl.php.net/types.integer Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-29 01:01:16] sidou at sidou dot com Description: ------------ Try the script below using a form input page with a field for the variable $month and point the action to a page containing the script. Try all the cases and see the result for the value of $month = 08 and $month = 09. And try also to input "00" or "any string". For god sake I want to know what's wrong with this code ? Reproduce code: --------------- <? switch ($month){ case (01): $mon="jan"; break; case (02): $mon="feb"; break; case (03): $mon="mar"; break; case (04): $mon="apr"; break; case (05): $mon="may"; break; case (06): $mon="jun"; break; case (07): $mon="jul"; break; case (08): $mon="aug"; break; case (09): $mon="sep"; break; case (10): $mon="oct"; break; case (11): $mon="nov"; break; case (12): $mon="dec"; break; default: print "INVALIDE MONTH !!"; } echo ($mon); echo ($month); ?> Expected result: ---------------- I expect to see a logical output regarding to the simple code above, I want to see the script printing "aug08" when I insert the value "08" for the month in the form. same thing for "09". and when we put "00", "any string" or BLANK the output is "aug + USED_STRING" Why all other values work fine ? Actual result: -------------- Actually, when we input $month = 08 the result is "WRONG MONTH08" even though the case was correctly predicted in the code. Same thing for "09". Does PHP have any problem with August and September ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27434&edit=1
