Status: Bogus
Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem
Operating System: windows
PHP Version: 5.0.0b2 (beta2)
New Comment:
It should be so, but it is not.
I've tested the following code:
var_dump(explode(",","a,b,c,d,e,f",-8));
var_dump(explode(",","a,b,c,d,e,f",0));
var_dump(explode(",","a,b,c,d,e,f",1));
and got the following results (in PHP 5.0.0b2 as well as in PHP
4.3.4):
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(1) "a"
[1]=>
string(9) "b,c,d,e,f"
}
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(11) "a,b,c,d,e,f"
}
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(11) "a,b,c,d,e,f"
}
IMHO there is a bug in the case the value is < -1.
Moreover, there is no specification in manual of what the function
should
return if the value <= 0 (i.e. that -1 means infinity and values <-1
mean
1).

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
When number parts is <0 the value defaults to 1, when it is
0 it simply returns the specified string.

Description:
------------
The explode() function misbehaves if the limit parameter has invalid
value.
Reproduce code:
---------------
explode(",","a,b,c,d,e,f",-8);
explode(",","a,b,c,d,e,f",0);
Expected result:
----------------
Warning + returning FALSE
Actual result:
--------------
invalid value is treated as if it was 2 and 1 respectively
