Description:
------------
For loop with $i zero padded gives unexpected behaviour

Test script:
---------------
for($i=010;$i<20;$i++){
echo $i."<br/>";
}
echo "<br/>";
for($i=025;$i<50;$i++){
echo $i."<br/>";
}
echo "<br/>";
for($i=033;$i<60;$i++){
echo $i."<br/>";
}

Expected result:
----------------
The $i value is not what is stated in the for loop

Actual result:
--------------

Please stick to bug report template. What is the expected result?

As far as I can see (until I miss something) the linked (why linked instead of just providing the result?) output is exactly what is expected. There are three loops. First output values from 8 to 19, the second outputs values from 21 to 49 and the third: from 27 to 59. This is exactly what the code states and how it should work.

for($i=010;$i<20;$i++){
echo $i."<br/>";
}
expected is a loop with 10- 19

for($i=025;$i<50;$i++){
echo $i."<br/>";
}
expected is a loop with 25- 49

for($i=025;$i<50;$i++){
echo $i."<br/>";
}
expected is a loop with 33- 59

the actual result as you see in the link is something else

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

010 is an octal notation, so parsed as 8.
025 in octal is 21.
033 in octal is 27.

See also http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php for the different integer notations.
