Req #63632 [NEW]: $var =. 'val';

From: bensor987 at neuf dot fr Operating system: All PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Variables related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: $var =. 'val'; Description: ------------ Why not add "$var =. 'val';" syntax ? It would concatenate 'val' before $var. Actually, you have to do this <?php $var = 'val' . $var; ?> My suggestion make the code shorter : <?php $var =. 'val'; ?> Test script: --------------- <?php $a = "Hello "; $b = $a . "World!"; // now $b contains "Hello World!" $c = "World! " . $a; // now $c contains "World! Hello " $a = $b = "Hello "; $a .= "World!"; // now $a contains "Hello World!" $b =. "World! "; // now $b contains "World! Hello " ?> -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63632&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=63632&r=mysqlcfg
