hello,

  1 returns false now in php4.0 so it's not outputted in echo (echo "!1: " .!1) . "\n"; ) whereas in php3.x !1 returned 0 and was displayed.
  i know this is not a bug, but it may/does render many scripts (including the ones i'm working on (~50.000 lines)) misbehave in certain conditions and definitely is a compatibility problem.
  checking_ and changing !<some_expression> to (int)!<some_expression> would take *LOTS* of time, so IMO this behaviour should be changed or at least be configurable via some option.
  
	thanks,
		Michal Vitecek
