ID: 19883 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: skaventruc@yahoo.fr -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Strings related Operating System: Windows NT PHP Version: 4.2.0 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 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-12 20:13:42] skaventruc@yahoo.fr concatenation hazard ... on : $a = 2; echo 'c='.$a*2 .' ok'; it produce a good result : "c=4 ok" but : $a = 2; echo 'c='.$a*2.' ok'; produce a parse error : unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING ... also the following works : echo 'c='.$a*2..' ok'; so it should be a bug when trying to see "2." as a float when it is an integer followed by a concatenation operator (that's the problem when using operators that are also separators...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19883&edit=1
