note 43093 added to types.comparisons

Oh, the insanity... "If the string starts with valid numeric data, this will be the value used." If this is true, then why the following: (0 == "info") is FALSE; reason given, " 'inf' means infinity" (0 == "inf") is TRUE; shouldn't it be false if it's comparing infinity to zero? (0 == "infinity") is TRUE; what gives? (0 == "infinita") is FALSE; my head asplode! The "starts with valid numeric data" appears to apply to numbers... (0 == "2") is FALSE, obviously (0 == "2d") is FALSE (0 == "p2p") is TRUE ... but textual representations don't seem to count... (0 == "two") is TRUE So, what's with "inf" and "infinity"? php v 4.3.2 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43093 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43093&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43093&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
