echo 010; = 8?

[Karma]

Quick question, can anyone tell me why echo 010; gives a result of 8? Just wondering!

...And no, I'm not having problems echo'ing ints or vars, thanks :)

did you do any other tests?

try these

echo 0100;
echo 01000;

I was pushing to expand the experiment in such a way that the answer would present itself

coop is often nicer than me ;)

I didn't realise those examples did that. Never bothered trying. It's interesting to see a the factors of 2 growing. I am going to read the link from Coopster when I get in my occasional daily procrastination mode.
