Some invalid operands not detected

[muglug]

from @Majkl578:

Invalid:

echo "x" ^ 1;
echo "x" | new stdClass();

Valid:

echo "x" ^ "y";
echo 4 ^ 5;

If both operands for the &, | and ^ operators are strings, then the operation will be performed on the ASCII values of the characters that make up the strings and the result will be a string.

So echo "x" ^ "y"; is not invalid.

Yup, it's a modified example from phpstan/phpstan#1082.

"x" ^ 1 is invalid though. #php

Good points, I've updated the ticket
