Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62790&edit=1 ID: 62790 Comment by: matteosistisette at gmail dot com Reported by: matteosistisette at gmail dot com Summary: Operator "->" missing in operator lists Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: (forget the part about the parse error; the rest is still valid) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-24 09:08:37] matteosistisette at gmail dot com Or do you need an example? Here it is: <?php class Test { public $foo=1; public $bar=2; public $foobar="3"; } $p1="foo"; $p2="bar"; $test=new Test(); echo $test->$p1.$p2; How is one supposed to know (other than by trying) that the output will be "1bar" and not "3"? (not to mention that it will produce a parse error prior to 5.0) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-24 08:58:53] matteosistisette at gmail dot com @krakjoe Would you expand a little bit? An operator is missing in the list that documents operator precedence, so there is no way to know what is the precedence of that operator compared to others. What's the part that you don't understand? What doesn't make sense to you? Why should it be ok that the precedence of that operatos is not documented? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-10-24 06:52:53] krakjoe@php.net The question doesn't make any sense, closing the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-03-25 19:16:46] jschoett at gmail dot com It's the so called "object operator" (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR), which is missing. According to doc comment http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php#86566 Please fix this -- I really want to know which precedence this operator has! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-08-10 10:47:02] matteosistisette at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Operator "->" (access of object properties and methods) is not listed either here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php nor here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.precedence.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62790&edit=1
