This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. "Maximum value for "int" is PHP_INT_MAX." Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-01 13:13:49] tjibbe at rijpma dot org Sorry i'm confused with float. 1.2345678901345678e+17 isn't the same integer as 12345678901234567890. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-01 12:25:04] tjibbe at rijpma dot org or the Expected result should be: 1.2345678901345678e+17 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-31 11:27:52] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yes, the documentation in this needs a cleanup. I found this page better explaining what happens and when/why: http://www.php.net/intval The http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php page requires some care too, it's too long. (split/add urls to topics, whatever...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-31 09:05:02] tjibbe at rijpma dot org Description: ------------ The function gettype() changes your data without any notice of warning! In the documentation it is also not mentioned that settype($var, 'int') has a max of 2147483647 Reproduce code: --------------- <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); $var = '12345678901234567890'; settype($var, 'int'); echo $var; ?> Expected result: ---------------- 12345678901234567890 or WARNING: settype() too big integer Actual result: -------------- 2147483647 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42154&edit=1
