RE: [PHP-DEV] Re: [fw-general] Re: [PHP-DEV] ZF 0.8.0 Unit Tests behaving different on PHP 5.2.1 and PHP 5.2.2-dev

Tricky code - tricky result. Do you think php-5.1 result is perfect? :) BTW the difference is in implementation of %G format specifier. It seems, now it tries to produce the shortest string representation of float (I cannot remember why), but this is not conformed to POSIX specification Linux man: g,G The double argument is converted in style f or e (or F or E for G conversions). The precision specifies the number of signifi- cant digits. If the precision is missing, 6 digits are given; if the precision is zero, it is treated as 1. Style e is used if the exponent from its conversion is less than -4 or greater than or equal to the precision. Trailing zeros are removed from the fractional part of the result; a decimal point appears only if it is followed by at least one digit. Probably it should be fixed. Thanks.
