ID: 64982 Updated by: ahar...@php.net Reported by: bas at dmt-software dot nl Summary: gettype(1.545) returns deprecated "double" -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I don't think there's any real value in complicating the implementation of gettype() for this, particularly since the type is called double internally anyway (for example: the IS_DOUBLE constant in the Zend Engine). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-06-06 22:45:09] bas at dmt-software dot nl Description: ------------ Currently gettype(1.5456) returns "double" that is deprecated since 4.2.0, it should return "float". The documentation says "for historical reasons "double" is returned", but is it not just forgotten to change. If it can not be changed for legacy reasons it might be useful to add an extra parameter (like a predefined constant) to toggle deprecated "double" or "float" return value. Test script: --------------- print(gettype(1.15545)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64982&edit=1
