Description:
------------
When trying to set a variable from a function return value, 
this variable is not set. I am using a local Apache 1.3.3 on a 
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Client.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$abc?= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "x";
echo "/";
echo $abc . "y";
echo "/";
echo isset($abc) ? "yes" : "no";
echo "/";
$abc = "abc";
echo $abc . "d";
exit;
?>

Expected result:
----------------
127.0.0.1x/127.0.0.1y/yes/abcd

Actual result:
--------------
127.0.0.1x/y/no/abcd

Works fine for me. Try adding error_reporting(E_ALL); as first line in your script and try again.

With error_reporting(E_ALL), output is now:

localhostx/
Notice: Undefined variable: abc in /Library/WebServer/
Documents/dCMS/test.php on line 6
y/no/abcd

Well, somehow the caracter '?' got in there, but was displayed 
as space in my editor.

<?php
$abc?= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
....

Works now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
