Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-23 09:56:45] jasonh@trurocollege.ac.uk http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.conversion Contains these examples: $foo = "10.0 pigs " + 1; // $foo is integer (11) $foo = "10.0 pigs " + 1.0; // $foo is float (11) But both of these yield float 11. Which suggests that the following line of documentation (which is immediately above this set of examples) is also wrong: "When the first expression is a string, the type of the variable will depend on the second expression." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17388&edit=1
