note 57755 added to language.variables

On the previous note: This is due to how evaluation works. PHP will think of it as: $a = whatever $b = $c is $b = whatever $c = 1 is ... because an expression is equal to what it returns. Therefore $c = 1 returns 1, making $b = $c same as $b = 1, which makes $b 1, which makes $a be $b, which is 1. $a = ($b = $c = 1) + 2; Will have $a be 3 while $b and $c is 1. Hope that clears something up. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57755 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57755&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57755&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57755&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57755&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57755&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57755&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57755&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57755&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
