ID: 50696 Comment by: look at the_anti dot es Reported by: endosquid at endosquid dot com Summary: number_format when passed a 0 as first function argument, returns null Status: Wont fix Type: Bug Package: Math related Operating System: Linux 32 bit PHP Version: 5.3.1 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: think you guys should switch to python Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-22 14:23:17] jhibbard at gmail dot com I don't care who you are - this has to be the most epic bug report chain i've ever read. this thread should be locked tho so others (like me) don't turn this into the biggest comment spot on the net. Either way, heh, couldn't help but chuckle when dude sent no more replies after finding out who ramsus is. hehe. wonder if he uninstalled php and went to ruby instead. seems like a better fit at least ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-22 13:08:45] fdasfas at fas dot com ^ 0 isn't some magic all-encompassing number. It means 0. NULL means no number based on your shitty incorrect input, and is the correct choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-22 11:54:31] lskdjfsl at mailinator dot com Just because Rasmus is some big dev does not mean he is right, I don't care what your zend_parse_crap() does, a function should return a value that makes sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-22 06:26:44] phi...@php.net This is a bugs database and not a discussion forum (e.g., hacker news) so please treat it as such. Sure it's nice to see all of this excitement and interest in the PHP project (patches welcome! :) but let's try to be productive and reasonable. The bug status is "Won't fix" which means it will not change nor be reverted. This report is 2.5 years old. And the current behavior exists in both the 5.3 and 5.4 branches. So while the discussion of this bug veered off course, and frustration was shown, please consider putting energy towards other tasks like submitting patches and creating RFCs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-22 05:41:21] izanagisan at gmail dot com at so many points in this conversation a little understanding from the submitter of the bug would have been beneficial. He led the thread into a silly fuss instead of making it a search for solutions, even when in his situation there was little hope he'd get one. Surely Rasmus was the perfect person to help him, if he'd just asked kindly instead of proposing the whole PHP development team was mad for attempting to standardize the language a bit more months or no months of changing and testing, he handled this poorly ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
