Description:
------------
I've found a bug with "range" in PHP 4.3.1;

eg.
print_r(range("2003", "2004")) != print_r(range(2003, 2004));
print_r(range("2003", "2004")) == print_r(range(2, 2));


Reproduce code:
---------------
print_r(range("2003", "2004"));


Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => 2003
    [1] => 2004
)


Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] => 2
)

This is a doc problem. From PHP 4.1.0 and higher you can also use characters as a range... and the function effectively does range("2", "2") now (it takes the first character).

This bug has been fixed in CVS.
