By this, I would like to set before you the next problem:
I have a script in which is present the comparison "if ($a == $b) {...},
where $a = "4e2" and $b = "4d2", both strings, so the answer should be
"false".
I have two computers, on the first one is still active PHP 4.2, on the
other one PHP 5.5.
At my surprise, under PHP 4.2 the answer is "true", but under PHP 5.5
"false".
It took me quite some time to figure out that PHP takes "4e2" as a float
number (400),
but that only PHP 4 takes also "4d2" as a float number (again 400), and
thus considers the equality as "true"
(however, it does not when one uses "===", since the type is "string",
not "float").
So, PHP 4 takes still in account the use of "d" in the sense of
"decapower", alias for "e" and for that reason equal, PHP 5 does not.
My question is: can you confirm that this is true, and above all, from
which version of PHP the decapower is not recognized anymore?
Thanks! Frans Kok
