PHP version: 4.3.3
PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Bug description: Operator Precedence screwed up from 4.3.2 to 4.3.3?
Description:
------------
My hosting service recently changed from php-4.3.2 to php-4.3.3. In the
process a script broke which had been working fine right up until
php-4.3.3.
I have a comparison expression where a variable on the left side is
compared to an expression which alters the same variable on the right
side. See the code details below.
Reproduce code:
---------------
if ($var == ($var = ereg_replace("^\.", "", $var))) {
$replace = true;
} else {
$replace = false;
}
Expected result:
----------------
If $var contains "SOMETHING" the expression should be true and if $var
contains ".SOMETHING" the expression should be false.
Actual result:
--------------
The expression is always true, regardless of the content of $var.
