Bug #10437 Updated: casting is not consistent

ID: 10437 Updated by: jeroen Reported By: goba@php.net Old-Status: Open Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Strings related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Assigned To: Comments: Strange indeed. There are explicit casts (either to double or to int) and implicit casts. You can view upon the latter one as a (number) cast, it casts to a number, maybe int, maybe float. In that cast strings like '5.31abc' are not detected as double, (invaled numbers after the dot) so integer parsing takes place, which yields the int 5. This should be corrected in Zend. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-22 04:06:03] goba@php.net Casting is not consistent with doubles: $foo = "5.31abc"; $foo2 = (double) $foo; $foo3 = $foo + 0; The first gives 5.31 the second gives 5, although it should notice the full 5.31 number in the string. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
