ID: 5404 Updated by: zeev Reported By: kix@struktuur.ee Old-Status: Analyzed Status: Closed Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.1 Assigned To: Comments: Fixed at last - thanks for the report! Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-05 12:27:47] stas@php.net Yes, strtod makes mess from 0x-numbers (I suspect it being libc bug, but maybe they intended it to be so), so we should catch them in strtol. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-05 04:28:40] kix@struktuur.ee Yes, of course, sorry about the typo. It seems to me that the place where this is done in such a way is in the function is_numeric_string() in the file zend_operators.* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-04 23:36:30] hholzgra@php.net you're talking about strtol() here, not strtod(), aren't you? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-04 01:50:38] kix@struktuur.ee No, it is not necessary to create a new strtod function, because when php checks if the string is a number or not it explicitly tells strtod, that the string is a base 10 number, instead of letting strtod determine the base itself, which would result in the correct behaviour. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-08-03 21:52:51] hholzgra@php.net so maybe we should add some kind of strtod-wrapper to get around this libc 'feature'? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
