Can anyone give me a "workable" version? I've tried even to convert all numbers into integers, floats or whatever. It still does not work. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 06:23:40] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a variation of the commonly asked floating point number comparison question. At numbers beyond 2^31-1 pow() returns a float. Doing exact comparisons of an integer against a floating point value in any computer language is tricky because of the way floating point numbers are represented. You could make sure your precision is set the way you want and convert to a string, or apply a fuzz factor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 06:20:57] [EMAIL PROTECTED] var_dump() _ONLY_ works on variables. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 06:15:21] [EMAIL PROTECTED] $a = pow(2,31); $b = array($a); var_dump( in_array(2147483648, $b)); $b = array(2147483648); var_dump( in_array(2147483648, $b)); // this is the result. how come there are different? bool(false) bool(true) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16036&edit=1
