The `zend_atol` function has been deprecated. What is the replacement function?

[matyhtf]

Description

The behavior of zend_atol() is not entirely consistent with the ZEND_ATOL macro. zend_atol() can parse numbers with units, such as 10K and 1M, not just convert strings to numbers.

This function is used in swoole-src, found at: https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src/blob/master/ext-src/php_swoole.cc#L352

How should we modify the code?

Best regards.

See #7951. In your case you likely want to use zend_ini_parse_quantity().

Anyhow, there is no entry in UPGRADING.INTERNALS, and the comment in zend_operators.h isn't quite sufficient.

[cmb69]

Oh, that change was already done for PHP 8.2, and documented there:

php-src/UPGRADING.INTERNALS

Lines 32 to 34 in fecad54

	* Deprecated zend_atoi() and zend_atol(). Use ZEND_STRTOL() for general purpose
	string to long conversion, or a variant of zend_ini_parse_quantity() for
	parsing ini quantities.

While the respective comments in zend_operators.h do not hint at the latter, I think it's okay to leave them as is.

Thanks.
I have replaced zend_atol with zend_ini_prse_quantity.
