You appear to be right. Apparently the string->number conversion stuff no longer works like strtod(). For instance: <?php $foo = 5 + "10.5"; echo "Value of \$foo: $foo; type of \$foo: ".gettype( $foo )."\n"; $foo = 5 + "10.5 "; echo "Value of \$foo: $foo; type of \$foo: ".gettype( $foo )."\n"; ?> The ouput of the above is: Value of $foo: 15.5; type of $foo: double Value of $foo: 15; type of $foo: integer It's _far_ more picky about what sorts of strings will be converted to doubles. Does anybody have a spec for the new (er...since May) behaviour? I haven't had a chance to look too closely at operators.c yet today...
