note 48670 added to function.is-numeric

What php at thefriedmans dot net said below about .5 returning false and .0.5 returning true isn't true, at least not for me on PHP 5.0.0. The program: <?php echo (is_numeric('5') ? "true" : "false") . "\n"; echo (is_numeric('5.5') ? "true" : "false") . "\n"; echo (is_numeric('.5') ? "true" : "false") . "\n"; echo (is_numeric('.0.5') ? "true" : "false") . "\n"; ?> yields: true true true false Just as I would expect.
