Description:
------------
In the implode() implementation, there's an optimisation that operates when input array contains long's. This optimisation relays on the fact that log10(num) returns digit number of string representation of "num". Even though mathematically it is correct there an issue when num consist of more than 14 nines (i.e. 99999999999999999). In this case the log10 is rounded up and actual result gets wrong.



Test script:
---------------
$a = [
        'INSERT IGNORE INTO ',
        'Table',
        (999999999999999999),
        PHP_INT_MIN,
        PHP_INT_MAX
];
$str = implode(' ', $a);
echo json_encode(["str" => $str]);


Expected result:
----------------
{"str":"INSERT IGNORE INTO Table 999999999999999999 -9223372036854775808 9223372036854775807"}


Actual result:
--------------
{"str":"INSERT IGNORE INTO \u0000 Table 999999999999999999 -9223372036854775808 9223372036854775807"}

Here is .phpt for the issue:

--TEST--
Test implode() function, problems with big numbers
--SKIPIF--
<?php
if (PHP_INT_SIZE != 8) die("skip this test is for 64bit platform only");
?>
--FILE--
<?php

/* very long number */
var_dump( implode(" ", ["hello long", 999999999999999999, PHP_INT_MAX] ) );

var_dump( implode(" ", ["hello negative long", -999999999999999999, PHP_INT_MIN] ) );

var_dump( implode(" ", ["hello small long", -101, -100, -99, -90, -11, -10, -9, -1, 0, 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 90, 99, 100, 101] ) );

echo "Done\n";

?>
--EXPECTF--
string(49) "hello long 999999999999999999 9223372036854775807"
string(60) "hello negative long -999999999999999999 -9223372036854775808"
string(76) "hello small long -101 -100 -99 -90 -11 -10 -9 -1 0 1 2 9 10 11 90 99 100 101"
Done

It seems to be unrelated to big numbers.

shorter script:


$a1 = ['INSERT IGNORE INTO', 'Table', 999999999999999999, PHP_INT_MIN, PHP_INT_MAX];
$a2 = ['INSERT IGNORE INTO', 'Table', 1, 2, 3];
$str1 = implode(' ', $a1);
$str2 = implode(' ', $a1);
var_dump($str1, $str2);

It keeps the ending \0 for the 1st string,

"INSERT IGNORE INTO<bh:00> Ta" (little literal hexdump).

err It is big number related. I was checking two times the same script.

Assigning to Anatol, he knows that area well :)
