The following code
$t = 1 – (1 - 2);
yields:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING on line 3 in php 5.2.3
and in 5.4 I get Parse error: in <file> on line 3
To me it seems like I’m subtracting one expression from another, which I would imagine is legal. Why is this a parse error?
The first “–” is an en-dash, but it should be a hyphen-minus like the latter one: “-“. Replace it, and your code will work.
