I find the problem:

$temp = 0; // is not // $temp = 0;

Sorry :)

However, I'd like to have 0  NULL in the future :) Don't you think?

Hello!
i might have found a problem dealing with 0 and NULL values while using
a recursive function in a class that i have created.

I have found some bugs related to this problem in the php-bugs database
about 0 and NULL, but the problem i have found goes more into
depth: i've noticed that 0 == NULL only if the value 0 only if the
value 0 comes from the array passed to the recurvise function. i try
to explain with an example:

$temp = $a[$p];

if ($temp == ) {
 if ($temp == 0) {
  echo (impossible);
 }
}

it happens that the output will be impossible.

instead, if i set $temp = 0 or NULL before the IF structures, i won't
get the output impossible:

$temp = $a[$p];

$temp = 0;
   // or  $temp = NULL;
   // or without declaring at all the variable $temp

if ($temp == ) {
 if ($temp == 0) {
  echo (Impossible);
 }
}



$a is an array which can be modified or not by the recursive function,
and is then passed as a parameter to the function itself

I have tested it both with version 4.0.5 and 4.2.0

If you would like to receive more details about this, i will be glad to
send you the complete source code. i have tried to reduce the lenght of
the code, anyway it's still too long to write here. if you are
interested, i could send you all the code by email or i could give you
an account to access my server and work by ftp/http

best regards,
and thank you for developing PHP :)
