This is indeed dubious. Which of the '[' gets evaluated first? Allthough=

left-associtivity might indicate the first one should be evaluated first=

(PHP4 behaviour).
However, for:
$array[$i] =3D $i++;
Precedence as defined should kick in clearly. The '[' isn't in the table=

just for show.

And makes for more readable code indeed. However, if I read the =
documentation I fully expect the PHP4 result from my example, not the PH=
P5 =
one...
