From: Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:a minor error in examples Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.types.string --- There is probably a documentation error in example #8: <?php echo "He drank some juice made of $juice[0]s.".PHP_EOL; echo "$people->robert greeted the two $people->smiths."; ?> outputs He drank some juice made of s. Robert Paulsen greeted the two . You should use complex (curly) syntax in such cases, because you really want to output: He drank some juice made of apples. Robert Paulsen greeted the two Smiths. If the author intended to show that simple syntax doesn't work in such cases, it would be better to provide comments/text explaining this: echo "He drank some juice made of $juice[0]s.".PHP_EOL; // Invalid; s is interpreted as a part of variable name echo "$people->robert greeted the two $people->smiths."; // Invalid; s is interpreted as a part of variable name -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53519&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53519&r=mysqlcfg
