Think I found a bug in PHP v5.3.3-1ubuntu9.5 CLI?

I may have found a bug, if so who do I report this too?

Here is what I've got:

for ($i = 0; $i <= ($count)-1; ++$i) {
 Lots of code...more then I want to put here
....
.....
.....
$mailto = $mailto . $i +1 . ") " . $name . " " . $location . " Type: " . $type . " Status: " . $geostatus . " Difficulty " .$difficulty . "\n" . $region . "\nHidden: " . $hidden . " Last Update: " . $lastupdate . " Last Found: " . $lastfound . "\nDistance: $distance Bearing: $bearing degrees $direction\n\n";
}

echo "$mailto \n";

The output will look like this:

Showing me only the last item in the list. However if I change the code just slightly to this:

for ($i = 0; $i <= ($count)-1; ++$i) {
 Lots of code...more then I want to put here
....
.....
.....
$cc = $i +1;
$mailto = $mailto . $cc . ") " . $name . " " . $location . " Type: " . $type . " Status: " . $geostatus . " Difficulty " .$difficulty . "\n" . $region . "\nHidden: " . $hidden . " Last Update: " . $lastupdate . " Last Found: " . $lastfound . "\nDistance: $distance Bearing: $bearing degrees $direction\n\n";
}

echo "$mailto \n";

I get the full output as I expect to see:

Did I find a bug, or am I doing something wrong in the 1st way, and correct in the 2nd way?

And if I did find a bug, who do I report it too.

PHP v5.3.3 running CLI version on Ubuntu 10.10 Thanks.

In the first bit of code, change:

$mailto = $mailto . $i +1 . ") " . $name . " " . $location . " Type: " . $type . " Status: " . $geostatus . " Difficulty " .$difficulty . "\n" . $region . "\nHidden: " . $hidden . " Last Update: " . $lastupdate . " Last Found: " . $lastfound . "\nDistance: $distance Bearing: $bearing degrees $direction\n\n";

to

$mailto = $mailto . ($i +1) . ") " . $name . " " . $location . " Type: " . $type . " Status: " . $geostatus . " Difficulty " .$difficulty . "\n" . $region . "\nHidden: " . $hidden . " Last Update: " . $lastupdate . " Last Found: " . $lastfound . "\nDistance: $distance Bearing: $bearing degrees $direction\n\n";

I suspect you're just getting the order of operations wrong.

It has to do with operator precedence. Here's a simplified example:

$i=1;// doesn't matter what this value is
$s = " alpha " . $i+1 .  " beta " . " gamma<br>\n";
echo $s; // 1 beta gamma

$s = " alpha " . ($i+1) .  " beta " . " gamma<br>\n";
echo $s; // alpha 2 beta gamma

The odd behavior in the first case even happens if you cat the addition to an (int).

$s = " alpha " . (int)$i+1 .  " beta " . " gamma<br>\n";
