If you have another way, why not.
0o 0 and \ are the usual flags for an octal value and we have functions for octal strings but they are not user friendly in their output as they tend to ignore adding a leading tag at all. But my favourite is still '\143\141\164' == "\143\141\164" which is false, but I doubt many would know why? Yes it only becomes a problem when one is accessing material like historic data dumps, and rejecting the numeric string may be 'strictly' correct, but it's one those 'what the' if one gets an error where for years it's run perfectly? >> > Again we have to ensure >> > that the pre-processing takes care of the problem and how would static >> > analysis even know there was a problem?

I know there are some examples in the SQL standards, but since they are paid for documents it's pointless trying to reference them :( ( Andrey - there may not be plans to support a full range of hints - weak or strict, but this is all valid material that PHP handles daily and passes around ) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
