Then it is a documentation problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-31 16:49:26] nikic@php.net Related discussion for is_numeric_string: http://markmail.org/message/ax2drcb6dolr5agl.

Note, that a hexadecimal number is only reported as being numeric, if it is in hexadecimal string notation (i.e. starting with 0x). The first example is correctly reported as being numeric, because the "e" is recognized as starting the exponential part of the number. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
