PHP Changelog: |
The In PHP versions 4.1.0 through 4.3.2, this function treats numeric strings as strings rather than integers. For example, “5252” is processed as “5” when generating character sequences. Support for character sequences and decrementing arrays was added in PHP 4.1.0. Character sequences are limited to a single character; if the length exceeds one, only the first character is used. Prior to this version, |
