Sure, I could, but I'm not sure how much I'd help. :-/ If it's on the list, I can offer comments or such regarding anything I think (if this is mostly is_numeric* stuff you will draft) -- I thought I'd have a quick commented example of what *I* thought of for is_numeric* by now, but didn't get to it yet. I wanted to reply to your message from last week in the is_numeric* thread... One last thing about the array function I've not mentioned... ('Course I realized after the last mail -- I tried this the other day, but it was my patched code (oops), so it didn't mess up.) On 32-bit, using string value of 2^32-1: $a['2147483647']=1; $b=array_count_values(array('2147483647')); var_dump($a, $b); array(1) { ["2147483647"]=> int(1) } array(1) { [2147483647]=> int(1) } Again, it's behaving differently by converting that value to number. (Note: To be fair, I'd say in this case, it's a tiny bug in regular array key handling ("symtable" functions), but I'll keep that for later -- super simple to fix, I think. And safe. :-)) > --Pierre Don't need to waste time replying to this. ;-) Thanks for your time, Matt -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
