Line::intersectsLine() is buggy about phpgeo HOT 3 OPEN

I'll have a look at this over the next days.

from phpgeo.

Added a test for this issue: master...fix/96

@nilshoerrmann It seems that there's a bug when checking for line intersection for some edge cases – do you have an idea for a fix/workaround?

from phpgeo.

From a quick look at the source, in intersectsLine() we have these conditions:

// the lines are collinear or touch
if (
    in_array(self::ORIENTATION_COLLINEAR, $orientation, true)
    && (new Intersection())->intersects($this, $line, false)
) {
    return true;
}

This only works if all points are collinear but fails if this is only true for three points (as in the example). So we would either have to switch to high precision for all calculations – (new Intersection())->intersects($this, $line, true) – or we would have to add a more precise condition that distinguises between three collinear points (setting precision to true) and four collinear points (settings precision to false).
