Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-07 15:47:45] tony2001@php.net Oh, please no need to add THAT kind of unreadable syntax, we have enough of it already. This one is really ugly and more important - useless. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-05-07 15:27:54] php at hristov dot com Give you "2" as result. This is just an example, to simplify what is wanted, not something you will find somewhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
