Re: Use of "empty character constant?"

Hi Pierre, :-O I was just going to give you an example from zend_operators.h, is_numeric_string() and guess what? It's the "correct" way that I thought it should be! I thought PHP 6 changed something, to where /* handle hex numbers */ if (length>=2 && str[0]=='0' && (str[1]=='x' || str[1]=='X')) { conv_base=16; } which is easy to understand :-) became if (length>=2 && str[0]=='' && (str[1]=='x' || str[1]=='X')) { conv_base=16; } BUT, I recently started looking at http://lxr.php.net so I could cross-reference, etc., instead of searching my local sources, and that's where I first saw this "change." It took you asking for an example for me to realize that LXR is the problem, screwing up the display of '0' ! (Though I *think* I saw it correctly in some places?) LOL, I can't believe it. I kinda thought, "Oh well, I just don't get it," but I'm glad I e-mailed before spending more time than I have trying to figure out what the empty char constant does! http://lxr.php.net/ident?i=is_numeric_string -- check out 12 lines into the function definition. :-/ Well, thanks for helping me get on the right track to "solving" this. The LXR thing needs fixing I guess.
