note 41146 added to language.operators.increment

Note that incrementing strings can give unpredictable results due to type changes. For example: <?php $i = '9C6'; for($n=0; $n<10; $n++) echo ++$i . "\n"; ?> Gives you: 9C7 9C8 9C9 9D0 10 11 12 ..etc. The 'D' (and also 'E') characters are interpreted here as exponents of 10 (i.e., scientific notation) formatted numbers. Using '9D6' will give 9000001, 9000002, etc. You might want to use all alphabetical or all numerical, but not mix the two otherwise you may not get what you expect.. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.increment.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41146 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41146&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41146&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
