Automatic Type Conversion about inspekt HOT 10 CLOSED

Thanks, I'll look in to this.

from inspekt.

I created unit tests based on this, and I can't recreate the behavior with the latest codebase. I'll be pushing up a 0.4.1 soon, but I'd be interested to know which version you're using. Otherwise, I think this is solved.

My environment:
OS:Windows XP Professional SP3
Apache:2.0.63.200
PHP:5.2.9-2
inspekt:0.4.0

from inspekt.

I changed the order of test case to
testTestAlnum2()
testTestAlnum()
testTestAlnum3()

and i got three failures :(

from inspekt.

So you're not running the newest codebase? Please make sure you do. 0.4.1 has been pushed and released.

from inspekt.

yes , I running the newest one , and do again,

require_once "Inspekt.php";

$_POST = array();
$_POST['a'] = '0';
$_POST['b'] = '2009-12-25';  
$_POST['c'] = '0';

$cage_POST = Inspekt::makePostCage(); 
var_dump( $cage_POST->testAlnum ('a') );    <= string '0' (length=1) , OK
var_dump( $cage_POST->testGreaterThan ('b' , 25 ) );  <= string '2009-12-25' (length=10) , WRONG
var_dump( $cage_POST->testLessThan ('c' , 25 ) );  < = string '0' (length=1) , OK

your second case matches PHP behavior for string to integer conversion.

As it states on http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php

If you compare a number with a string or the comparison involves numerical strings, then each string is converted to a number and the comparison performed numerically.

So, the string '2009-12-25' is converted to the integer 2009, which is indeed greater than 25. The original value is returned because the test is passed.

Can you describe or provide code for what you think should happen in terms of type conversion? So far I haven't gotten that from you.

sorry , my description was not clear .

my question is the automatic type conversion is permitted ?
so we can compare any string like '2009jkelj;vkshgjew' with a integer 25

from inspekt.

Yes, this is PHP's behavior.

Thank you!
