RES: [PHP] 2 Questions: Static variables and the nature of the online manual

-----Mensagem original----- De: Svevo Romano [mailto:svevo@svevoromano.it] Hi there, Many thanks for your answer. I've also gone through your example and it took me 10 minutes to understand how the operator precedence was working there. Was expecting 1 on the first call :) But this is not the point. You've nailed my question very preciseley in your first answer: 'the preceding line is only run on the first call to the function'. My only question is (at it is related to the nature of the online manual): how do you know it and I don't? This thing is the only logical explanation to the fact the $a doesn't get initialized again to 0 in any subsequent call to the function, but it's not written anywhere in the manual page. And it seems the most important statement in my opinion, that justifies what I see as an exception to a normal flow. Hope all this makes sense. Thanks, S <me> You can use http://bugs.php.net/report.php to report a documentation "bug" and they'll change the docs :) Thiago </me>
