ID: 55222 Comment by: tom at kera dot name Reported by: hanskrentel at yahoo dot de Summary: Fatal Error disappears when using paranthesis Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 5.3.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: cataphract, this bug report came out of that Stack Overflow post. I don't think that the Stack Overflow post resolves it in any useful way. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-08-24 08:56:18] hanskrentel at yahoo dot de I assume you want to say that the linked answer explicitly explains the problem. Should we make use of this feature when programming PHP or not? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-29 09:56:38] cataphr...@php.net See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6726589/parentheses-altering-semantics-of-function-call-result/6732876#6732876 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-27 16:34:24] hanskrentel at yahoo dot de I can only remind again that the first comment from php.net obviously misread this report. I am _missing_ the fatal error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-19 08:10:56] hanskrentel at yahoo dot de Actually I'm concerned that reset( (get_array()) ); does _not_ give a fatal error. This contradicts the last comment "There's really no way to get around that [getting a fatal error]". Why does it not give a fatal error? There is no variable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-07-18 22:21:36] ahar...@php.net reset() requires a variable that can be passed by reference. There's really no way to get around that, hence the fatal error. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
