PHP 4.0 Bug #7185 Updated: $count++ bug (does not increase value in some cases)

ID: 7185 Updated by: andi Reported By: madey@OpenBSD.pl Status: Closed Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Assigned To: Comments: Personally I wouldn't rely on the increment of "" being "1". I would set $count to "0" (or even better to 0). But as it worked this way in PHP 3 and I don't see a reason not to support it I have commited a fix to the CVS tree. Please grab it if you know how to use CVS (make sure you update the Zend CVS) and let us know if there are still problems Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-13 11:03:27] madey@OpenBSD.pl <html> <body> PHP 4.x : When I set $count to "", $count++ doesn't work properly.<br> PHP 3.x : script works OK.<br> <br> Don't tell me that's OK ;) ...
