And none of the purported statements he tried line up with the purported 
results he posted.  However, I guess that's a bit beyond your level of 
comprehension.

Again, your comprehension is lacking.  It was set as not a PHP bug. 
However, once again, there is no indication this is the same problem as 
a reported bug over six years old.

No!  You, wrong?  Can't be!

Not having any idea how your system is set up, I would say your test is 
worthless.

See above.
