#48496 [NEW]: String to numerical conversion

From: headden at karelia dot ru Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: String to numerical conversion Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php "The string will be evaluated as a float if it contains any of the characters '.', 'e', or 'E'. Otherwise, it will be evaluated as an integer." this statement is wrong, consider the following code: $a = 1 + "1234567890123"; var_dump($a); // outputs 'float(1234567890124)' on a 32-bit platform this means that "1234567890123" was treated as 'float' although it does not have any of '.', 'e' or 'E' characters. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48496&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48496&r=mysqlcfg
