Are you kidding me php?

Question

echo 2*"10 some string" will echo out 200 how come is that possible!? this is just wrong...

Answer 1

But why would you multiply an integer and a string in the first place?

Answer 2

Abnet your question is only the tip of the iceberg.I know other languages are complex(to say),but php is weird especially when it comes to strings.
its only oop i know where you increment strings like::
$a="word";
++$a;

Answer 3

I didn't It popped up in a challenge...

Answer 4

because it multiplies with the first integer it can find in that string

php has a lot of weird interactions like this due to there not being type declarations

Answer 5

very weird! shouldn't they fix this?

Answer 6

Abnet it's wierd, but not a bug. see, as long as it isn't a syntax error, php will compile it most of the time.

but it is an intended interaction
