Summary: Calculate expression before using it as argument
Status: Bogus

The order of the evaluation of function parameters is "undefined". (It
actually changed with 5.2 or so due to performance reasons)

Sorry, my bad. This was an incomplete example. In first message there
was a good
example, when $a->x is an object, and in both cases: a($a->x) and
a($a->x = 3) - I
'm expecting object $a->x instead of assigned value because of __set()
function,
which converts value to an object.

> the value of "$a = 3" is 3
Here I'm talking about function arguments, not a simple assignments.
function b($a){
// here expected resulting object $a, not just int(3)
var_dump($a);
}
class a{}
$a = new a();
b($a->x = 3); // outputs int(3)
$a->x = 3
b($a); // outputs object(a)#2 (1) { ["x"]=> int(3) }

Expected behavior, see:
http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.assignment.php
[...]
The value of an assignment expression is the value assigned.
That is, the value of "$a = 3" is 3.

Description:
------------
Calculate expression before using it as argument in function and with
echo.
Test script:
---------------
class p{
protected $_name = null;
protected $_value = null;
public function __construct($name, $value){
$this->_name = $name;
$this->_value = $value;
}
public function is($value){
$this->_value = $value;
return $this;
}
public function __toString(){
return "$this->_name = $this->_value";
}
}
class a{
protected $_a = null;
public function __set($name, $value){
$this->_a[$name] = new p($name, $value);
return $this->_a[$name];
}
public function __get($name){
if (!isset($this->_a[$name])){
$this->_a[$name] = new p($name, null);
}
return $this->_a[$name];
}
}
class q{
public function where($var){
echo $var;
}
}
$a = new a();
echo $a->x = 2; // "2" (Expected: "x = 2")
echo "\r\n";
echo $a->x; // "x = 2"
echo "\r\n";
$q = new q();
$q->where($a->x = 2); // "2" (Expected: "x = 2")
echo "\r\n";
$q->where(($a->x = 2)); // "2" (Expected: "x = 2")
Expected result:
----------------
x = 2
x = 2
x = 2
x = 2
Actual result:
--------------
2
x = 2
2
2
