I don't think that the Stack Overflow post resolves it in any useful way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-24 08:56:18] hanskrentel at yahoo dot de I assume you want to say that the linked answer explicitly explains the problem. Should we make use of this feature when programming PHP or not? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-29 09:56:38] cataphract@php.net See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6726589/parentheses-altering-semantics-of-function-call-result/6732876#6732876 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-27 16:34:24] hanskrentel at yahoo dot de I can only remind again that the first comment from php.net obviously misread this report.
