ID: 41681 User updated by: rich at corephp dot co dot uk Reported By: rich at corephp dot co dot uk Status: Bogus Bug Type: Filter related Operating System: Windows XP SP2 PHP Version: 5.2.3 Assigned To: pajoye New Comment:
I understand that, in which case why does the "allow thousands" flag work? One way or the other it is inconsistent. Either the bug is that the allow thousands flag works, or the bug is that allow scientific doesn't. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-13 20:45:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is a flag for the sanitizing function not the validate filter, see the main page of the filter manual function. (Not a bug > bogus) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-13 18:31:26] rich at corephp dot co dot uk Description: ------------ FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT doesn't allow for the use of FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC as an option, although it DOES allow for the use of FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND. As both are valid FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_FLOAT flags, why not the same for the validate float filter itself? Reproduce code: --------------- $val = '34,200'; $result = filter_var($val, FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT, FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_THOUSAND); var_dump($val); var_dump($result); $val = 'e34200'; $result = filter_var($val, FILTER_VALIDATE_FLOAT, FILTER_FLAG_ALLOW_SCIENTIFIC); var_dump($val); var_dump($result); Expected result: ---------------- string(6) "34,200" float(34200) string(6) "e34200" float(34200) Actual result: -------------- string(6) "34,200" float(34200) string(6) "e34200" bool(false) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41681&edit=1
