note 56433 added to language.operators

A quick note to any C developers out there, assignment expressions are not interpreted as you may expect - take the following code ;- <?php $a=array(1,2,3); $b=array(4,5,6); $c=1; $a[$c++]=$b[$c++]; print_r( $a ) ; ?> This will output;- Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 6 [2] => 3 ) as if the code said;- $a[1]=$b[2]; Under a C compiler the result is;- Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 5 [2] => 3 ) as if the code said;- $a[1]=$b[1]; It would appear that in php the increment in the left side of the assignment is processed prior to processing the right side of the assignment, whereas in C, neither increment occurs until after the assignment. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56433 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56433&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56433&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56433&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56433&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56433&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56433&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56433&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
