Description:
------------
you can no longer pass 09 int ascii value to chr() function to get a "\t" return value.

I was previously running version 5.2.6 of php on my server a upgraded to version 5.3.2

A few of my providers send ascii with preceeding zero.

Please let me know if 09 is no longer supported as a value that can be passed to chr().

Test script:
---------------
// 5.3.2 returns 0
// 5.2.6 return "\t"
ord(chr(09));

// 5.3.2 returns "\t"
// 5.2.6 return "\t"
ord(chr(9));

Expected result:
----------------
expected result is that both 09 and 9 should return "\t"

Actual result:
--------------
actual result is 09 returns null

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 a number is preceded by a 0 it mean that you're using an octal notation. So when you wrote 09 it was converted to 0 since 9 is not a valid octal.

If you want to print "\t" you can use chr(011)

011 = 9
