ID: 42154 User updated by: tjibbe at rijpma dot org Reported By: tjibbe at rijpma dot org Status: Verified Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment: Sorry i'm confused with float. 1.2345678901345678e+17 isn't the same integer as 12345678901234567890. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-01 12:25:04] tjibbe at rijpma dot org or the Expected result should be: 1.2345678901345678e+17 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-31 11:27:52] jani@php.net Yes, the documentation in this needs a cleanup. I found this page better explaining what happens and when/why: http://www.php.net/intval The http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php page requires some care too, it's too long. (split/add urls to topics, whatever...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-31 09:05:02] tjibbe at rijpma dot org Description: ------------ The function gettype() changes your data without any notice of warning! In the documentation it is also not mentioned that settype($var, 'int') has a max of 2147483647 Reproduce code: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); $var = '12345678901234567890'; settype($var, 'int'); echo $var; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 12345678901234567890 or WARNING: settype() too big integer Actual result: -------------- 2147483647 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42154&edit=1
