ID: 7888 Updated by: hholzgra Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Analyzed Status: Assigned Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: 4.0.2 Assigned To: hholzgra Comments: Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-20 11:14:17] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Forwarded to the doc group, it's only a mistake in the pdf version of tha manual. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-20 07:41:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] i guess it is in the PDF version? it is a known problem (at least to me ) that the TeX backend converts a '--' into a 'long -' --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-20 06:27:23] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Where exactly in the manual do you find this? I couldn't find it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-20 06:23:48] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's a typo in the manual. Fixing it now. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-20 06:17:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The documentation says $a= 5; -$a; echo $a; theresult: 4 $a= 5; $a-; echo $a theresult: 4 In reality however both report an error Instead it should be: $a--; --$a; Which makes more sense to me since it is also ++$a and $a++. Is this just the winversion, has it to do with phptriad or is this a mistake in the documentation? Since I probably end up serving the pages on Linux and building it on Wintel it could be quite a problem.
