Smarty3 - String Concatenation

[Matt]

I have the latest svn snapshot, and I have the following issue with
concatenation:

Code:
{$test = "one" & "two"}
{$test}

Output:
dfe

Not the expected output, as far as I know.

I guess by now you realised that this is the same output as straight
PHP off the command-line:
$ php -r 'echo "one" & "two";'

(the result is a bitwise AND on the ASCII values of each character)

I think you have to use the |cat modifier as Smarty uses '.' for array
keys instead of as a standard PHP concatenation operator.

This looks fine to me as & is the bitwise AND operator:
http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.bitwise.php

1101111 & // o
1110100 == // t
1100100 ; // d

This is Smarty concatenation:
{"one"|cat:"two"}

The "&" operator was changed back as bitwise AND operator for Smarty2
BC.

For string concatenation use the cat modifier or use the posiibilities
of double qouted strings.

Hi, concatanation with cat modifier is really hard and painfull to do for me, especially when you have a lot of variables. What is the problem of allowing concatenation with '.' , like "ONE" . "TWO"?

regards.

dot "." is already used for array key access. You can cat several ways:

"$foo$bar"
{$foo}{$bar}
$foo|cat:$bar

Otherwise we would need to come up with a new concatenation character.
