Doc #75444 [NEW]: Array comparison operators unprecise

From: kvanderheijden at transip dot nl Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Array comparison operators unprecise Description: ------------ On the PHP documentation page about array operators, the equality tests operators are misleading. See: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.array.php The docs say that the Identity comparison operator '===' checks the order of the elements, whereas there is no such mention on the Equality comparison operator. This would imply that the order does not matter when comparing array's with the Equality operator. This is incorrect. Test script: --------------- $a = [1, 2, 3]; $b = [1, 3, 2]; echo '$a == $b: ', ($a == $b ? 'TRUE' : 'FALSE'), PHP_EOL; echo '$a === $b: ', ($a === $b ? 'TRUE' : 'FALSE'), PHP_EOL; Expected result: ---------------- $a == $b: TRUE $a === $b: FALSE Actual result: -------------- $a == $b: FALSE $a === $b: FALSE -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75444&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=75444&r=mysqlcfg
