Why does the following $someclass->number+01 returns to me 01+01, when it should return 02?

sorry, my crystal ball is broken. you'll have to display some code.

[pedrobcabral]

I have a php class variable that calls number.
public $number; (that contains the number 01).

While calling a function that adds to that var the number 01, i mean:
$myclass->number + 01; this should output 02, once my variable number is set to be 01.

Wrongly the result comes to be 01+01, where i wanted to be 02.

Thanks for the help.

Are you sure it is storing the number 01 and not the string 01?  PHP doesn't store preceding zeroes.

[Hi I Am Timbo]

Are you doing an echo $myclass->number + 01?

like was mentioned before, can you show us the code?

[pedrobcabral]

I guess the problem could be explained like this:

[code]
<?php
$var = 10;

echo "Calc: $var+01";

?>
[/code]

The echo goes for "Calc: 10+01" instead of 11.
Why? Thank you.

[Hi I Am Timbo]

Because PHP doesn't parse the whole string.  It treats the string as a string, and inserts the $var as a string. 

It would have to be like this:

[code]
<?php
$var = 10;

echo "Calc: ".($var+01);

?>
[/code]

or this, which changes the value of $var:

[code]
<?php
$var = 10;

$var += 01;

echo "Calc: $var";

?>
[/code]

right, all your equations need to be done outside of the quotes (unless you're using exec(), but let's not get into that here ;) ):

[code]
<?php
// this outputs "01 + 01"
$myClass->number = '01';
echo "$myClass->number + 01";

// this outputs "2"
echo $myClass->number + 1;
?>
[/code]
