Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51283&edit=1 ID: 51283 Updated by: johannes@php.net Reported by: easteregg at verfriemelt dot org Summary: defect stringconcatination with if term -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: windows 2008 & linux PHP Version: 5.3.2 New Comment: 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 Please see php.net7operators for the Operator Precedence.What happensis that in $order .= ' ' . ($this->data["order"] == 1) ? "desc" : "asc"; The expression ' ' . ($this->data["order"] == 1) will be evaluated first. Depending on the result "desc" or"asc" will be evaluated and returned. Use parenthesis: $order .= ' ' . (($this->data["order"] == 1) ? "desc" : "asc"); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-12 13:26:12] easteregg at verfriemelt dot org Description: ------------ if i concat some strings like $string .= ' ' .
