(int)(3 / 2) works fine, (int)(PHP_INT_MAX / 3) does not. It’s not a bug, it’s entirely intentional and expected behaviour. You’re doing a floating-point division then casting to integer, which will sometimes lead to a loss of precision. And no, having a division wrapped in (int) work differently from a normal division isn’t a good idea. That means the operator acts differently based on context. It would mean $a = PHP_INT_MAX / 3; $a = (int)$a; would do something entirely different from $a = (int)(PHP_INT_MAX / 3); -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
