ID: 49991 User updated by: warren at guy dot net dot au Reported By: warren at guy dot net dot au Status: Bogus Bug Type: JSON related Operating System: FreeBSD 6.3 PHP Version: 5.2.11 New Comment:
Additionally, from a comment on http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php: > Nick Telford > 25-Jun-2009 11:06 > In PHP <= 5.1.6 trying to decode an integer value that's > PHP_INT_MAX > will result in an intger of PHP_INT_MAX. > > In PHP 5.2+ decoding an integer > PHP_INT_MAX will cause a conversion > to a float. which might implie that the expected behavior is not the behavior that is being exhibited here. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-26 00:07:25] warren at guy dot net dot au I am not asking json_decode to represent a number as an integer, nor any specific type. It is detecting a numeric value and turning it in to an integer for me. It seems that if it is able to detect that it is a numeric value, perhaps it should also be aware that the numeric value is greater than the max value of the type it is about to be assigned and use a more appropriate type instead? It seems counter intuitive that JSON numeric input on a 32 bit machine should be limited to a 32 bit integer. If for some reason this limitation is required, it should be obviously documented (it is not). Side note: if I add '.0' to the end of a number, it becomes a float and can represent numbers greater than 2147483647. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-25 22:55:03] [email protected] FWIW, it works properly on my 32 bit linux machine (debian lenny): $ php -v PHP 5.2.6-1+lenny3 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2 (cli) (built: Apr 26 2009 22:16:23) Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-25 20:19:43] [email protected] How exactly would it work when max int size on 32bit is 2147483647 ? Expected behaviour -> bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-10-25 16:05:03] warren at guy dot net dot au Nope, built on same machine it's running. 32 bit machine and OS.
