note 85784 rejected from function.ctype-digit by thiago

Note Submitter: matt at doodoostyle dot com ---- 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 This may be due to a newer version of the function performing the typecasting internally?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.
