#46334 [NEW]: Documentation enhancement request -- Type Juggling help page

From: hek at theeks dot net Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Documentation enhancement request -- Type Juggling help page Description: ------------ On the "Type Juggling" help page at http://us.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php (or on some other related page) it would be useful to document the precedence (for lack of a better word) PHP follows when type juggling. This entry currently explains that "if either operand is a float, then both operands are evaluated as floats, and the result will be a float" but could (and I think should) provide a hierarchy that indicates, for instance, "between an int and a boolean, int wins; between a float and an int, float wins; between a string and a float, string wins" and so on (and don't count on my example accurately capturing the true hierarchy, as I haven't actually done the tests to figure it out).
