    A lot of these operators aren't specific to PHP, maybe there should be a general wiki post for the operators that are common among many languages?

    I know this isn't strictly PHP, but what about including a link to phpdoc.org for phpDocumentor comment syntax, which is commonly used and it's also impossible to search for /**?

    I ran into this problem a lot too (not being able to search for special characters), which is why I made SymbolHound, a search engine that doesn't ignore special characters. I also posted it on StackApps.

    why this post is useful? Why not just open the official reference? Operator Precedence Arithmetic Operators ...

    Well, from the heading Why is this?, I'd guess it's because "The main idea is to have links to existing questions on Stack Overflow, so it's easier for us to reference them".

    Related: meta.stackoverflow.com/a/149852/168606 - it saddens me to see people still casting closevotes on this despite it's proven value and utility to the PHP tag.
