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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63197&edit=1
