With a more reliable test script: # cat t.php <?php $str = "0"; var_dump(substr($str, 0, 1)); var_dump(substr($str, 1, 1)); var_dump(substr($str, 5, 1)); ?> # php t.php string(1) "0" bool(false) bool(false) No bug here. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-17 17:16:07] ravacholp at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ substr() returns "0" for any offset on the string "0" using the length 1. This causes an infinite loop if you are checking for leading zeros in your string using substr(). Reproduce code: --------------- $str = "0"; print (substr($str, 0, 1) == "0"); print (substr($str, 1, 1) == "0"); print (substr($str, 5, 1) == "0"); // only the first line should evaluate to true Expected result: ---------------- 111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26292&edit=1
