Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74329&edit=1 ID: 74329 User updated by: pierstoval at gmail dot com Reported by: pierstoval at gmail dot com Summary: Inconsistency in operators precedence example Status: Open Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The "may print either 2 or 3" issue only happens with 2 PHP versions: * PHP 4.3.0 (released in 2002 and fixed 2 months later in 4.3.1) * and 5.0.5 (released in 2005 and fixed 3 months later in 5.1.0). That's why I consider this "may print either 2 or 3" sentence as an inconsistency Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-03-29 08:15:34] pierstoval at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.operators.precedence --- There's an inconsistency in Example #2 on the "Language Operators Precedence" page. The example states that the script "may print either 2 or 3", but actually, it will *always* print "3", and for the second script, the array will *always* be equal "[2 => 1]". This might confuse people about the real role of precedence operators. You can check on 3v4l here: https://3v4l.org/EUknn Test script: --------------- // First script $a = 1; echo $a + $a++; echo "\n"; // Second script $i = 1; $array[$i] = $i++; var_export($array); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74329&edit=1
