While having these behave they do is unfortunate, it is hardly the only one of PHP's quirks. Ever looked at the ramifications of loose typing with comparison? http://phpsadness.com/sad/52 > defined("SOME_CONSTANT") or die("SOME_CONSTANT was not defined"); > > However, this behaviour has nothing to do with the difference of precedence > - rather this is due to short circuiting. True, but that's still a lot of code to break. A *lot* of code. Far too much to consider changing this even at a major level I would think. PHP if anything, is too pragmatic a language for this change.
