From: Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: SimpleXML related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:SimpleXML casts intergers wrong.
Description: ------------ When an XML node value is an integer SimpleXML always casts it to an int, even if its a float or double. Test script: --------------- <?php $xml = simplexml_load_string("<xml><number>214748364800</number></xml>"); echo $xml->number . "\n"; // the proper number $int = $xml->number / 1024 / 1024 / 1024; // initial cast to an int causes problems echo $int . "\n"; $double = (double) $xml->number / 1024 / 1024 / 1024; // hard cast to a double fixes it echo $double . "\n"; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 214748364800 200 200 Actual result: -------------- 214748364800 1.9999999990687 200 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54973&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54973&r=mysqlcfg
