ID: 60358 Updated by: fel...@php.net Reported by: mapi at pdepend dot org Summary: Output of var_dump() has changed -Status: Closed +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: Variables related Operating System: Ubuntu 11.10 PHP Version: 5.4.0RC1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: . Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-22 13:22:06] mapi at pdepend dot org @laruence Sorry may fault. As @derick said, this is an xdebug related issue. When I disable the xdebug extension the output of PHP 5.3 and PHP 5.4 is equal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-22 13:21:03] mapi at pdepend dot org This output change only appears when xdebug is enabled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-22 11:21:09] der...@php.net It's likely that this is Xdebug. Could you confirm? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-22 11:04:56] larue...@php.net Please try using this snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ I can not reproduce this with 5.4-trunk. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-22 09:41:41] mapi at pdepend dot org Description: ------------ Maybe it's not a bug, but a behavior change. With all PHP versions prior to 5.4.0 the output of var_dump() for a simple string was enclosed by double quotes. With 5.4.0 this has changed and the string is now enclosed by single quotes, except the string already contains a single quote Test script: --------------- php -r 'var_dump("Manuel");' Expected result: ---------------- string(6) "Manuel" Actual result: -------------- string(6) 'Manuel' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60358&edit=1
