note 119561 rejected from language.operators.precedence by cmb

Note Submitter: toshkent at mail dot ru ---- It seems to me that Anistone's note is not correct. The precedence of addition, subtraction, and string concatenation depends on how the engine treats operands. <? $x = 4; echo "2" . $x+1 . ", or so I hope"; //25, or so I hope ?> But if we change the first operand "2" to "2p" or even "2 " (with backspace) the engine recornizes it as a string and concatenation has higher priority (similar to Anistone's example). <? $x = 4; echo "2p" . $x+1 . ", or so I hope"; //3, or so I hope ?>
