http://uk.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.conversion

Contains these examples:

  $foo = "10.0 pigs " + 1;        // $foo is integer (11)
  $foo = "10.0 pigs " + 1.0;      // $foo is float (11)

But both of these yield float 11.  Which suggests that the following line of documentation (which is immediately above this set of examples) is also wrong:

 "When the first expression is a string, the type of the variable will depend on the second expression."

This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation 
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
