ID: 23441 Updated by: helly@php.net Reported By: jeremy at wdonline dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.1 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 but that is not your problem! you do a = a++; that equals: temp = a;a = a+1;a = temp; Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-01 12:21:13] helly@php.net the ternary operator is bork ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-01 12:15:31] jeremy at wdonline dot com Through many frustrating hours, I think found a bug. The current session documentation offers this example for setting session variables using the $_SESSION array: if (!isset($_SESSION['count'])) { $_SESSION['count'] = 0; } else { $_SESSION['count']++; } This example, of course, works. However, it is common knowledge the the ternary operator can achieve the same results in one line: $_SESSION['count'] = (!isset($_SESSION['count']))?0:$_SESSION['count']++; However, this does not work. The session variable always seems to not be set, as it always retains the value of 0 instead of being incremented. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23441&edit=1
