This is just an example, to simplify what is wanted, not something you will find somewhere. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-07 15:07:50] jani@php.net Other than cause a parse error of course.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-07 15:06:55] jani@php.net What exactly is supposed to happen with that php code above? I mean, whatta hell is $b = ($a, 1); supposed to do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-07 14:55:23] andrey@php.net To make it even easier for testing : ./php -r '$a=1; $b = ($a, 2);' The equivalent in C is: #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int a = 1, c; c = (a, 2); printf("%d\n", c); } "," has lower prio than =, thus the brackets. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-07 14:47:42] andrey@php.net If introduced while not completely? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-07 14:26:17] colder@php.net Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. The ternary operator is not supposed to support that syntax, and it doesn't. So this is not a bug, and I'm not sure it's a good feature request either: ternary syntax is suited for simple cases. But if you really think it should be implemented, file a feature request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
