Bug #16843 Updated: Switch fails when variable being switched equals zero

ID: 16843 Updated by: yohgaki@php.net Reported By: matrix@matrixscripts.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Variables related Operating System: Red Hat Linux PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: The bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions.

However, replacing "case $filled == 0:" with "case 0:" does work. This can only be a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16843&edit=1
