Description:
------------
is_numeric not trim strings, in versions before when you've got "123.333 " it's treat like a number, but in version 4.3.4 not !!! the function return false;

Reproduce code:
---------------
if you have that:
$nro="123.32 ";

if (is_numeric($nro)) {
echo "numeric";
}else{
echo "not a numeric";
}

Expected result:
----------------
not a numeric

the problem is that we was developing wiht php 4.2.3 and when you get a value from a "recordset" from an sql query, sometimes the numbers became with spaces after the number and with this new version, that's not work.
i can put it trim inside that function, but is not compatible with older versions of php

i don't understand what you wanna read ...
the problem is for people who started programing with version 4.2.3 and upgrade it to 4.3.4 all the scripts that were written like that return false when before return true ...... the scripts not work unless you put is_numeric(trim($row[0])). do you understand me ?

http://www.php.net/is_numeric

this is php itself, not PEAR::Validate.

If there is a problem inside valide, please provide a short script to reproduce it.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PEAR itself. For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PEAR, please
visit http://pear.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.

Thank you for your interest in PEAR.
