Description:
------------
with regard to assignment operators...
there exists the string append operator .=
what would be very handy is a prepend operator =.
i.e.
$a = "a";
$b = "b";
$ab = $b;
$ab =. $a;
echo $ab; // "ab"

Not a bug, but a feature request. But something that won't be implemented as it would be way to confusing (and PHP != Perl).

[shrug] to me, it was worth asking :)
apologies for not finding a 'feature request' form on the site.
there's an operator such as this in perl?
i was unaware (i skipped perl on my way past jsp and coldfusion).
 [2004-09-07 13:24 UTC] k at krisgale dot com 
looking at it again, i could see how =. would be Very confusing...

is #= in use for anything?

i'll stop my filibustering here since, as you said, this is a feature request not a bug.
