Hmm, after some consultation & a good night sleep I agree it's not a bug in operator precedence. It's more an undefined state of the operand which is the problem. Indeed: undefined behaviour, so the difference between PHP4 & PHP5 should not matter: a statement like this just shouldn't be used/relied upon. The fact it's behaviour has changed between versions is however IMO enough reason to keep this in the bug database for people to find.

It seems that isn't true in assigning to an array in PHP5 anymore, while it was in PHP4. Latest snapshots of both checked (30-07-2007). This could also be a documentation problem. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $k = 1; $a = array(); $a[$k] = $k++; var_dump($a,$k); ?> Expected result: ---------------- array(1) { [1]=> int(1) } int(2) Actual result: -------------- array(1) { [2]=> int(1) } int(2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42152&edit=1
