ID: 30008 User updated by: k at krisgale dot com Reported By: k at krisgale dot com Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Feature/Change Request PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: [shrug] to me, it was worth asking :) apologies for not finding a 'feature request' form on the site. there's an operator such as this in perl? i was unaware (i skipped perl on my way past jsp and coldfusion). Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-07 12:57:14] derick@php.net Not a bug, but a feature request. But something that won't be implemented as it would be way to confusing (and PHP != Perl). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-07 12:34:46] k at krisgale dot com Description: ------------ with regard to assignment operators... there exists the string append operator .= what would be very handy is a prepend operator =. i.e. $a = "a"; $b = "b"; $ab = $b; $ab =. $a; echo $ab; // "ab" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30008&edit=1
