note 84861 added to function.abs

Additional notes to my previous post. "(as PHP turns it automatically into a string or float)" I mean to say "(as PHP turns strings automatically into an integer or float)". Another thing I'd like to note is that the variable name $integer used in my examples aren't really advised as the function goes beyond simple integers. Initially, I used this function only for the handling of integers, hence the variable name. It is only later that I've discovered it goes beyond integers. 0 will also return to 0 (if that shouldn't be obvious). Perhaps it is better to make it return NULL instead of FALSE when it fails the is_numeric condition, so that there's no mix with the function's result to be false instead of actually 0, however only checking with '===' instead of '==' should solve this, I believe. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 66.91.94.7 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.abs.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84861 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84861/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84861/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84861/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84861/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84861/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84861/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84861 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84861 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
