Bug #14704 Updated: phpversion (bool Float) request

ID: 14704 Updated by: jimw@php.net Reported By: roberto@berto.net -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: you need to use version_compare() to compare versions. (they aren't always entirely numeric.) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-26 15:20:05] roberto@berto.net Look: <?PHP // return 4.1 print (float)PHP_VERSION; $v = 4.1.4; // return 4.1 print (float)$v; ?> If someone wants to compare the versions of PHP, so he need to create a preg-like routine to change the string of PHP version to double numbers. So, you can rewrite in C the phpversion to function phpversion($withFloat = FALSE) { if ($withFloat == TRUE) { return 4.14; } return "4.1.4"; } So, if someone want a float number, he will call phpversion(1); <?PHP // output 4.14 print phpversion(1); // output 4.1.4 print phpversion(); ?> Thanx. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=14704&edit=1
