note 100297 added to function.is-string

son9ne's note below isn't entirely accurate, consider the following code: $test = ''; function func($var) { return $var; } function func2($var) { switch ($var) { case is_string($var): return $var; case is_array($var): return $var; } } function func3($var) { switch ($var) { case is_string($var): print "string!"; break; case is_array($var): print "array!"; break; } } if (is_array($test)): print "array!"; elseif (is_string($test)): print "string!"; endif; if (is_array(func($test))): print "array!"; elseif (is_string(func($test))): print "string!"; endif; if (is_array(func2($test))): print "array!"; elseif (is_string(func2($test))): print "string!"; endif; func3($test); It will output: string! string! string! array! I would expect the output: string! string! string! string! I think this is a bug in PHP's switch statement. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 204.137.29.243 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-string.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/100297 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100297/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100297/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100297/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100297/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100297/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100297/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/100297 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/100297 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
