Sure, I could, but I'm not sure how much I'd help. :-/ If it's on the list,
I can offer comments or such regarding anything I think (if this is mostly
is_numeric* stuff you will draft) -- I thought I'd have a quick commented
example of what *I* thought of for is_numeric* by now, but didn't get to it
yet. I wanted to reply to your message from last week in the is_numeric*
thread...
One last thing about the array function I've not mentioned... ('Course I
realized after the last mail -- I tried this the other day, but it was my
patched code (oops), so it didn't mess up.) On 32-bit, using string value
of 2^32-1:
$a['2147483647']=1;
$b=array_count_values(array('2147483647'));
var_dump($a, $b);
array(1) {
["2147483647"]=>
int(1)
}
array(1) {
[2147483647]=>
int(1)
}
Again, it's behaving differently by converting that value to number. (Note:
To be fair, I'd say in this case, it's a tiny bug in regular array key
handling ("symtable" functions), but I'll keep that for later -- super
simple to fix, I think. And safe. :-))

Don't need to waste time replying to this. ;-) Thanks for your time,
Matt
