[PHP-DOC] #19180 [NEW]: Wrong descriptions in language/types.xml From: dallas <email protected>
Date: 08/29/02

From: dallas <email protected>

PHP version: 4CVS-2002-08-29
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: Wrong descriptions in language/types.xml

In
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php
there's a sample:

$a = 1; // $a is an integer
$a[0] = "f"; // $a becomes an array, with $a[0] holding "f"

Which will issue an warning:

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in cast.php on line 3

and $a is still a int(1).
Tried PHP 4.2.3 under Windows and PHP 4.0.6 under Linux with same result.

And in
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
inside the Heredoc warning it said:

Probably the nastiest gotcha is that there may also not be a carriage
return (\r) at the end of the line, only a form feed, AKA newline (\n).
Since Microsoft Windows uses the sequence \r\n as a line terminator, your
heredoc may not work if you write your script in a Windows editor.
However, most programming editors provide a way to save your files with a
UNIX line terminator.

Which is actually not true. PHP 4 seems working fine with Windows line
terminator in Heredoc syntax. Also tried PHP 4.2.3 under Windows and PHP
4.0.6 under Linux, they both work correctly without any problem.
