And kill trillions of php scripts, how funny. Think before writing.

From Jessie's statements I was assuming that ONLY in the ternary case you would need whitespaces/parens to disambiguate the expression. That would break way less PHP scripts than, say, a core Date class ;-) If that's not the case then the situation is different. My bad for not getting around to try his patch, so I still don't know. But there's still no need for a blow below the belt, I _am_ thinking before I write. Could everybody please move on now? That means can someone who (according to the PHP developers) is in charge decide what's going to happen regarding the date class? Because everything else has time but date needs a decision now.
