PHP 4.0 Bug #4037 Updated: improper parsing of logical statements

OK, you are right - according to the manual, I should have used the logical operator 'and' instead of '&&' . I still think that this is wrong though, and misleading - high level programming languages always set the logical operators (no matter how they are named) as lower precedence then assignment operators (actually, the lowest), and if you want a different behaviour then you use parenthesis. I'd hate to sound like a conformist or something, but this is damaging to people who start programming in PHP after doing a lot of high level programming in other languages. (and it was different in PHP3 ;-) Oded P.S. sorry this is going by email - I can't remember my password to the PHP bug database. I hope you won't get mad at me. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bug Database" <php-dev@lists.php.net> To: <oded@geek.co.il> Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2000 4:10 PM Subject: PHP 4.0 Bug #4037 Updated: improper parsing of logical statements > ID: 4037 > Updated by: waldschrott > Reported By: oded@geek.co.il > Status: Closed > Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem > Assigned To: > Comments: > > zak´s right, this is not a bug, maybe it was in PHP3, > using () you´re forcing zend to evaluate the left part first (2), closed > > Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=4037 > >
