#41401 [Bgs->Opn]: Order of Operations error on divide by negative

ID: 41401 Updated by: et@php.net Reported By: drlippman at yahoo dot com -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Math related Operating System: Windows, Linux PHP Version: 4.4.7 New Comment: This IS a bug. http://de.php.net/operators lists unary - having higher precedence than the arithmetic operators, and that is the way it should be. So, this statement should evaluate to 1/(-2)*5 and that is -2.5 and not -0.1.
