After reading the PHP operator precedence, I can understand the examples in the manual, but this one is a bit hard to understand
<code> echo "1+5". 1+5;// 6 echo "1+5". 5+1;// 2 echo "5+1". 5+1;// 6 echo "5+1". 1+5;// 10</code>

Refer to the instructions on php.net.
My translation (bad)
Thedot operator has the same priority as
+
,-
, and mixed use can produce unexpected effects.
as
<code class="php">$var = 3; echo "Result: " . $var + 3; </code>
The above result outputs 3, instead of the expected result 6
Because the dot operator has the same precedence as +
, -
, all the above operations "Result: " . $var + 3;
will first calculate the results of the string Result
and the variable $var
Got
Resuklt3
Then calculate the result of Resuklt3
and the number 3
. Non-empty non-numeric strings and integers will be converted to 0 during calculation, so the result is 3
Same as echo "5+1". 1+5;
The same goes for this, first calculate "5+1". 1
to get a string 5+11
, (note that this is a string), in Add the number 5
, the string 5+11
is converted into a number = 5, add 5
and the result is 10
The answer is very simple. Four examples illustrate one problem. The priority of string concatenator .
is higher than that of operator +
.
First of all, in PHP, if the variable used for addition is not of numeric type, it will be converted to numeric type first, and the string "1+15" will be converted to the number 1.
The results of these items are obvious:
<code>"1+5" . 1 + 5 = "1+15" + 5 = 1 + 5 = 6 "1+5" . 5 + 1 = "1+51" + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2 "5+1" . 5 + 1 = "5+15" + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6 "5+1" . 1 + 5 = "5+11" + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10</code>
Addition:
The string concatenator . and the arithmetic operator +- have the same priority and are at the same level. The binding direction is left, that is, calculated from left to right. refer link
So string concatenation will be performed first, and then addition operation will be performed.
