From: jesper dot hag at gmail dot com Operating system: CentOS PHP version: 5.3Git-2012-12-11 (Git) Package: *General Issues Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Var_dump on null characters
Description: ------------ *Note* My PHP version is actually 5.3.3 The problem I've come up to is that printing a string with var_dump (for debugging purpose eg.) that contains null-characters are counted in the string length but are not in any way displayed in the var_dump output. I'm not sure this should be considerate a bug or a feature request because it is something I want and perhaps not something that per design should be in this way. Test script: --------------- <?php $string = "123456"; // len 6 $string[0] = ''; (or = null, or = "\0") var_dump($string); // Outputs string(6) "23456" ?> Expected result: ---------------- I would expect the above script to output something like string(6) "\0123456", that - in my world - would make more sense. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63745&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63745&r=mysqlcfg
