ID: 18214 Updated by: djanix@hotmail.com Reported By: djanix@hotmail.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: any PHP Version: 4CVS-2002-07-07 New Comment: right it's legal - but it's so rare that it is usually a mistake, which is why most c compilers will generate a warning for it. would have saved me a good 30 minutes tonight spent searching for the cause of a bug... :( -benjamin Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 17:41:10] sniper@php.net Not possible: if ($xx = some_function()) {} is perfectly legal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 17:40:16] sniper@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-07 17:38:33] djanix@hotmail.com just a quick feature request... how about a warning for assignment inside of an expression, like most c compilers will generate... " if ( $a = false ) { " would generate a warning... if u had the warning enabled of course.... i'm surprised it doesn't already do that... -benjamin+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18214&edit=1
