note 109621 added to language.operators.increment

Note that $a="9D9"; var_dump(++$a); => string(3) "9E0" but counting onwards from there $a="9E0"; var_dump(++$a); => float(10) this is due to "9E0" being interpreted as a string representation of the float constant 9E0 (or 9e0), and thus evalutes to 9 * 10^0 = 9 (in a float context) ---- Server IP: 87.106.1.137 Probable Submitter: 212.100.42.202 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.increment.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109621 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109621/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109621/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109621/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109621/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109621/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109621/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109621 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109621 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
