#27353 [NEW]: inconsistency in == comparison table docs

From: jason dot thurston at mckesson dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: inconsistency in == comparison table docs Description: ------------ The "==" comparison table L-2 on url: http://www.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php Table L-2. Loose comparisons with == documentation demonstrates the following: accross down result ------- ---------- -------- array() == null true null == array() false However, I'd expect both to be true as is what I see in the code fragment below. Reproduce code: --------------- echo "(null == array()) = " .( null==array() ? "true" : "false" ) . "\n"; echo "(array() == null) = " . ( array()==null ? "true" : "false" ) . "\n"; Expected result: ---------------- I expect to see what I get. However, the documentation would lead one to expect a different results. (null == array()) = true (array() == null) = true -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27353&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=27353&r=float
