Description: ------------ When I use a integer variable as needle to the strpos() function, the needle is not found. Reproduce code: --------------- <? $str_haystack = '12345'; $str_needle = '3'; $int_haystack = 12345; $int_needle = 3; $test = strpos($str_haystack, $str_needle); var_dump($test); $test = strpos($str_haystack, $int_needle); var_dump($test); $test = strpos($int_haystack, $str_needle); var_dump($test); $test = strpos($int_haystack, $int_needle); var_dump($test); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Due to the fact the strpos() is declared as int strpos ( string haystack, string needle [, int offset] ) I would expect that using a integer as needle would cause a implicit type cast to string. This does not seem to be the case, because using an integer as needle for strpos() will always return false (bool). Actual result: -------------- The call to strpos() with the integer needle return false (bool), while the call to strpos() with string needles return the actual position within the haystack. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30419&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=float MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=30419&r=mysqlcfg
