Request #73374 intval() with base 0 should detect binary
Submitted: 2016-10-22 21:58 UTC Modified: 2016-10-31 17:41 UTC
From: nikic@php.net Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Math related
PHP Version: Irrelevant OS:
Private report: No CVE-ID: None
 [2016-10-22 21:58 UTC] nikic@php.net
Description:
------------
intval() using base 0 currently detects decimal, octal and hexadecimal numbers based on notation. However, binary numbers are always converted to 0. As PHP supports binary number literals as of PHP 5.4 they should be supported here as well.

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(intval('0b1101', 0));

Expected result:
----------------
int(13)

Actual result:
--------------
int(0)

I'm recategorising this as a feature request, because intval() isn't inherently tied to PHP's integer literal formats, much as one might wish it were.

Also, the behavior is documented as such[1]:

| If base is 0, the base used is determined by the format of var:
| * if string includes a "0x" (or "0X") prefix, the base is taken as 16 (hex); otherwise,
| * if string starts with "0", the base is taken as 8 (octal); otherwise,
| * the base is taken as 10 (decimal).

Added a PR for this, feels clunky to me but not sure how to avoid it, what do you think?
