Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64676&edit=1 ID: 64676 Updated by: krakjoe@php.net Reported by: mausglov at yandex dot ru Summary: Unclear behavior of @-operator on non-expressions -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: any PHP Version: 5.4.14 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: You should expect the parser to emit an error when invalid syntax is used !! I do not see a reason to change the documentation, it is precise enough about where it can and can not be used, and is correct. Thanks for your input.

But what if the subject of @-operator is not an expression? In fact, it isn't silently skipped by PHP engine, - instead it causes parse error! Add this to the documentation page, please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=64676&edit=1
