#45205 [NEW]: Floating point syntax

From: chrisvroberts at gmail dot com Operating system: n/a PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Floating point syntax Description: ------------ On "http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.float.php", the defined syntax for floating point values appears to be incorrect: LNUM [0-9]+ DNUM ([0-9]*[\.]{LNUM}) | ({LNUM}[\.][0-9]*) EXPONENT_DNUM (({LNUM} | {DNUM}) [eE][+-]? {LNUM}) This does not allow negative floating point values. Presumably it should be: LNUM [0-9]+ DNUM ([0-9]*[\.]{LNUM}) | ({LNUM}[\.][0-9]*) EXPONENT_DNUM [+-]?(({LNUM} | {DNUM}) [eE][+-]? {LNUM}) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45205&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=45205&r=mysqlcfg
