Well, the truth is that PHP 4 is unsupported since several years, and most of its documentation has already been removed from the manual (the rest pending due to lack of time), so it wouldn't make sense to document INF as available from PHP 4.3.6 on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-11-13 21:42:29] slevy1 at pipeline dot com I suggest that it is more helpful to provide users the whole truth instead of just a slice. The truth is plain to see that INF became available as a constant in PHP4.3.6. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-11-13 08:36:19] requinix@php.net How about the comment says they're available for all versions of PHP 5+? Given that's all the docs are supposed to cover now anyways. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-11-13 08:18:27] slevy1 at pipeline dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/math.constants --- "All constants without a labeled PHP version above are available starting with PHP 4.0.0." Except that INF is a constant that is only recognized by PHP4.3.6. Previous versions of PHP 4 do not recognize the unlabeled constant. Expected result: ---------------- I expected PHP4.0.0 to recognize the constant INF. It does not -- just perceives the string "INF". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70907&edit=1
