note 78598 added to reserved.constants

@docey: Unfortunately, that will not work -- PHP will convert (PHP_INT_MAX+1) to a float. At least on my system, the minimum integer size is -PHP_INT_MAX - 1. I would say that that should be reliable elsewhere, but PHP ints have known portability issues -- see e.g. http://preview.tinyurl.com/ywh7ya Confirm this way: <?php echo gettype(PHP_INT_MAX) . "\n"; echo gettype(PHP_INT_MAX + 1) . "\n"; echo gettype(-PHP_INT_MAX) . "\n"; echo gettype(-PHP_INT_MAX - 1) . "\n"; echo gettype(-PHP_INT_MAX - 2) . "\n"; ?> On my system this yields: integer double integer integer double It would be nice to have a PHP_INT_MIN, though. Even better would be to have reliable, predictable data types... ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 71.6.18.226 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.constants.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78598 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78598/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78598/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78598/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78598/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78598/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78598/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78598 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78598 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
