note 111662 added to language.variables.scope

I had code not too unlike this: <?php function foo() { static $s = 0; if ($s == 0) { echo 'setting $s to "foo"<br>'; $s = "foo"; } } // a little test foo(); foo(); foo(); ?> Which prints 'setting $s to "foo"' three times. The code needs to be: <?php function foo() { static $s = ''; if ($s == '') { echo 'setting $s to "foo"<br>'; $s = "foo"; } } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 24.60.223.242 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/111662 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111662/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111662/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111662/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111662/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111662/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111662/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111662 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/111662 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
