note 85173 added to language.types.integer

be careful relying on PHP's data type handling. I have a class that handles database calls and in there a function to handle types and formatting them for insertion. <?php case constants::int: $returnString = ($valueString >= 0) ? $valueString : "null"; break; ?> Will evaluate to false if a user enters "0" since PHP thinks that the 0 is a Boolean. The following code fixes it: <?php case constants::int: $returnString = ((int)$valueString >= 0) ? (int)$valueString : "null"; break; ?> ---- Server IP: 117.104.160.194 Probable Submitter: 122.109.109.104 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85173 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85173/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85173/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85173/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85173/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85173/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85173/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85173 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85173 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
