Bug #3006 Updated: str_repeat messing with the output buffer?

ID: 3006 Updated by: helbockNOSPAM@secession.com Reported By: leon@leonatkinson.com Status: Closed Bug Type: Misbehaving function Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 4.0 Beta 3 New Comment: echo strlen(str_repeat("a",3)); will output "4" on php4.0 beta 3, which proves that str_repeat deliberately adds one character to the end of the string. when tested with a later version (php 4.0.5) this error did not occur anymore.

If the problem persists with 4.0.0, please submit a new bug report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [1999-12-20 11:58:13] andrei@cvs.php.net I have not been able to reproduce this with the latest CVS. Could you try it with the latest version and see if it happens? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [1999-12-19 14:53:10] leon@leonatkinson.com This code: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>str_repeat</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <? print(str_repeat("PHP!<BR>\n", 10)); ?> </BODY> </HTML> produces this: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>str_repeat</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> PHP!<BR> PHP!<BR> PHP!<BR> PHP!<BR> PHP!<BR> PHP!<BR> PHP!<BR> PHP!<BR> PHP!<BR> PHP!<BR> </BODY> </HTML> Note the extra space just before the closing body tag. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=3006&edit=1
