note 85784 added to function.ctype-digit

An interesting result I get on one of my systems... WinXP SP3, Apache 2.2.8, PHP 5.2.5 and 5.2.6 ( identical results ) <?php error_reporting( E_ALL ); $digit = 12345; var_dump( ctype_digit(12345) ); var_dump( ctype_digit($digit) ); var_dump( $digit ); ?> Returns bool(true) bool(true) int(12345) From what I gather, ctype_digit should return FALSE with an integral argument. This may be due to a newer version of the function performing the typecasting internally? Regardless, for compatibility purposes I still suggest typecasting any variables you feed into this function. ctype_digit( (string)$digit ); Interesting this change isn't noted in the manual. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 204.244.82.10 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ctype-digit.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85784 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85784/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85784/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85784/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85784/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85784/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85784/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85784 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85784 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
