Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php When you use ++ on strings, the sequence of values is: ... 'X', 'Y', 'Z', 'AA', 'AB', ... 'AZ', 'BA', ... Only when this sequence reaches 'ZA' does it fail the <='Z' test. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-09 11:07:12] thomas dot keller at inatec dot com Description: ------------ Configure command: './configure' '--prefix=/usr/local/php' '--with-apxs2=/home/apache2/apache-2.0.52/bin/apxs' '--enable-versioning' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' '--with-gd' '--with-zlib' I use the following code snippet to print out an array of chars in alphabetic order. If I have the condition $i < 'Z' (so only until 'Y'), everything works fine, for the condition(s) $i <= 'Z' or $i < ('A' + 26) PHP produces wrong results. I could reproduce the error on a Redhat 9 system with PHP 4.3.4. Reproduce code: --------------- $letters = array(); for ($i='A'; $i<='Z'; $i++) print $i; Expected result: ---------------- ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ (26 ^ 1 letters) Actual result: -------------- ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZAAABAC .. YZ (26 ^ 2 letters) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30732&edit=1
