Bug #921: funcs not returning false in assignment context

From: david@uws.edu.au Operating system: Solaris 2.5.1 PHP version: 3.0.5 PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function Bug description: funcs not returning false in assignment context If $doterms is previously set using a logic expression ($doterms = (x and y and z and ...)) it should contain the integer equivalent of boolean TRUE or FALSE - so far so good. In an assignment context: $doterms = $doterms and ereg(...) and eregi(...); $doterms should only be set to the integer equivalent of boolean TRUE iff all three expressions are considered to be "TRUE" - alas, however, it appears to *always* be set to true, regardless of the ereg/eregi pattern matches. A conditional context does, however work: if( $doterms and ereg(...) and eregi(...) ) $doterms = 1; else $doterms = 0; This will correctly set $doterms to zero (FALSE) should one of the RE pattern matches fail. Surely this is inconsistent (boolean/logic) behaviour (and probably affects other/all functions)? -- 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
