Bug #856: Problems with string starting with "e"

From: eric@maclands.net Operating system: Linux 2.0.34 PHP version: 3.0.5 PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function Bug description: Problems with string starting with "e" Following problem: A form sends data in a variable (GET) namend $astr. An SQL query is composed with this string. Works fine unless $astr starts with a little "e". Example: $sql_statement = "SELECT sym_name, gid FROM groups WHERE sym_name LIKE '%$astr%' "."OR g_disc LIKE '%$astr%' ORDER BY sym_name"; results in ($astr = "efg"): SELECT sym_name, gid FROM groups WHERE sym_name LIKE '9.411446e-270fg%' OR g_disc LIKE '5.503297e-270fg%' ORDER BY sym_name That doesn't change when using (string)$astr or when I do $bstr=strval($astr) (and $bstr in the source)... -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
