Author #38888 [NEW]: gmp_init treats leading zero as octal
php at richardneill dot org

2006-09-19, 6:58 pm

From: php at richardneill dot org
Operating system:
PHP version: Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem
Bug description: gmp_init treats leading zero as octal

Description:
------------
The documentation for gmp_init implies that a number will only be parsed
as hexadecimal if it begins with 0x, and decimal otherwise.

Thus: "10" means ten
"0x10" means sixteen
"010" means ten.

However, in practice, "010" is parsed as eight!.

Not sure whether this is a documentation bug, or an actual bug though.
Personally, I'd prefer "010" to mean ten, but I am aware of some
conventions in which it means octal.

Confusingly:
$x=010 //$x is eight
$x="010" //$x is ten


Please also correct the comment I added to the gmp_init page - I said that
it 010 was parsed as hex, when I meant octal.
