#37060 [Opn->Asn]: Type of retval of Countable::count() is not checked

ID: 37060 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported By: alpha at rrs dot at -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: SPL related PHP Version: 5.1.2 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: johannes Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-04-12 17:05:03] alpha at rrs dot at Description: ------------ If an implementation of Countable::count() does not return an int the result is a big, "random" number. It seems like the result is always taken as int even if it's a string or float. IMHO the result should get typecasted to an int or at least a warning. If I typecast the result to an int in the return statement it works as expected. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); class Test implements Countable { function count() { return '1'; } } $test = new Test(); var_dump(count($test)); ?> Expected result: ---------------- int(1) Actual result: -------------- int(148313044) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37060&edit=1
