Doc #63197 [NEW]: floatval documentation should say what happens on failure

From: info06 at manuelbuser dot ch Operating system: Xubuntu Linux PHP version: 5.4.7 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:floatval documentation should say what happens on failure Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.floatval#refsect1- function.floatval-returnvalues --- The description of the floatval return value is incomplete: "The float value of the given variable. Empty arrays return 0, non-empty arrays return 1." It should say that floatval("string") returns 0 (the intval description does). An even better wording has been proposed in bug #50311 (which was only partially fixed) -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63197&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63197&r=mysqlcfg
