Bug #15037 Updated: something wrong with the operator '--'

ID: 15037 Updated by: yohgaki Old Summary: something wrong with the operator '--' Reported By: killyoubye@263.net Old Status: Bogus Status: Open Old Bug Type: Math related Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: It seems type jaggling problem to me. AFAIK, PHP should convert type depends on the context. for() is the exception? Then it should be explicitly documented. Openned again to make this clear :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-15 00:44:08] mfischer@php.net Interesting approach, but why do you quote 2.1 ? It says that $num is the _string_ "2.1" and not the number 2.1. Just nuke the quoes for $num = 2.1; and you're done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-01-14 23:44:34] killyoubye@263.net I run below on win2000: <? $j = 0; $num = '2.1'; for ($i=$num;$i>1;$i--) { echo "i== $i<br>"; if ($j++ == 10) break; } ?> but I get the output: i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 i== 2.1 I think something may be wrong with the operator '--'.Maybe I am right. Good lunk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15037&edit=1
