note 75686 added to function.version-compare

My concern at this point, is that Hayley Watson's comments may confuse some people - it did me, so I did some more investigation before replying... According to all the unit tests (15) I have written using version_compare, I believe Hayley Watson is incorrect. For example, all of these calls are true. function testVersionBeta3ToBeta4() { $this->assertTrue(opendb_version_compare('1.0b3', '1.0a4', '>'), '1.0b3 > 1.0a4'); } function testVersionBeta6ToReleaseCandidate1() { $this->assertTrue(opendb_version_compare('1.0RC1', '1.0b6', '>'), 'RC1 > 1.0b6'); } So how is this any different (which does not return true) function testVersion10pl1To101() { $this->assertTrue(opendb_version_compare('1.0.1', '1.0pl1', '>'), '1.0.1 > 1.0pl1'); } However when its changed to: unction testVersion10pl1To101() { $this->assertTrue(opendb_version_compare('1.0.1', '1.0pl1', '>'), '1.0.1 > 1.0.0pl1'); } It works fine. I do believe that the version_compare function works as follows: $version1 $operator $version2 ---- Server IP: 203.202.10.60 Probable Submitter: 202.7.176.130 (proxied: 60.240.112.111) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.version-compare.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75686 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75686/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75686/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75686/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75686/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75686/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75686/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75686 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75686 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
