Problem with loose typing

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Consider the following:

  function test() {
    static $i = 0;

    $i++;
    $retval = ( $i <= 10 ) ? $i : '';

    return $retval;

  }
  while( $bob = test()) {
    echo $bob . '<br>';

  }

You would expect the while loop to go on forever just looking
at the above code.  However, what's happening is that when the
empty string is getting returned due to $i being > 10, the while
loop is resolving FALSE when $bob is set to the value of the
empty string.
Is there any way that I can force this not to happen?  That the
while loop resolves as FALSE only when the function actually
returns a (boolean) FALSE value?

thnx,
Chris
