This is an edge-case occurrence when dealing with an X near the end of the specified phoneme count. For the test script, the following phoneme transformations take place: A -> A X -> KS C -> K Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump('axccc', 2); // Should produce AKS var_dump('axccc', 3); // Should produce AKSK as "X->KS" is one phoneme var_dump('axccc', 0); // Should produce AKSKKK ?> Expected result: ---------------- string(3) "AKS" string(4) "AKSK" string(6) "AKSKKK" Actual result: -------------- string(3) "AKS" string(3) "AKS" string(6) "AKSKKK" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60314&edit=1
