I do know that integer, string, double, float, etc.... are different.. Iprogramming,
have been using hte appropriate method like in javascript and c
like converting it to integer and so on.... But when I start using PHP, Ithe
find no such document of it and I have been using it for 3 years without a
problem. I asked people is there such a thing as converting it by using
function and they told me there is no such a thing and that it is doneprogramming.
automatically... Now my time is a little bit wasted. So, I will correct
the problem with the php script...
I recently looked up on the manual as Jason Wong instructed me to. I
havne't found the answer since the document is a little bit mixed up.
Okay, I'm going back to my old way as I did in javascript and c
So for php, it would bematch
floatval() for float...
strval() for string....
settype() for whatever......
intval() for integer....
Um, what about double???
Thanks,
Scott F.

uh oh...
I don't see why a string wouldn't work when I use "08" (string) and
itit
becauseagainst the integer 8, or 08.They're just different types. Normally PHP is veeery flexible with
types, like javascript, but it just can't be flexible for you here
it needs to choose the most logic to the entire pool of programmers, andthen
"08" = a stringinteger,
8 = a decimal integer
08 = by definition an impossible octal integer, so 0.
Since you cannot tell PHP that $var is of a certain type like in [other]
programming languages, for example you want it to be treated as an
PHP will handle it as what seems to be the most logic.
You can try to use intval (does not alter a variable, only the value as
conversionis used in a calculation or an if() statement) or settype (alters thebut a
variable).

-----Original Message-----I stumbled into this one a short while ago myself. It is not a bug,
From: Scott Fletcher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Found a PHP bug, I'm using PHP version 4.2.3. I have been
struggling with
why PHP code failed to work with the month is August or
September
interpretsfeature! ;) When passing values of 08 or 09 (Aug and Sep), PHP
arethem as octal numbers (because of the leading 0). However, 08 and 09
invalid octal numbers, so PHP converts them to zero.
The fixes are numerous:
- remove the leading zero;
- add zero to them before passing (addition forces a type
to
theint);
- force a type conversion to integer using (int);
- quote them (when PHP converts a string to an integer, it removes
leading zero);--
