#36692 [NEW]: error in documentation

From: nobody at example dot com Operating system: irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: error in documentation Description: ------------ On the documentation for mysql_real_escape_string at http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-real-escape-string.php : // Quote if not integer if (!is_numeric($value)) { $value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'"; } This is blatantly incorrect. is_numeric() does *not* test whether something is an integer. This should probably be int() or ctype_digit() instead. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36692&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36692&r=mysqlcfg
