Hi there,

what really would be nice, if PHP would have a more advanced way of quoting strings similar to Perl. E.g. the q{} and qq{} function are really helpful there or that i can use e.g. $var = !my string 'hallo'!;
$var = "my string 'hallo'"
If you want to have longer strings, use heredoc
$var = <<< EOT
Some text with double quotes(") as well as single ones(')
and even $variables
EOT;

and i don't have to backslash ' and " inside the string.

another thing that i find useful in Perl is the unless construct. I sometimes find it more readable to use "unless($error) {...} " instead of "if (!$error) {...}".
This reminds me my days when I used to program in Pascal. The latter has
repeat until with reversed logic. It was PITA to find the expression for
it.

I think this would be nice additions, perhaps you'll consider implementing them in future releases.


Thanx


Andrey P.S. just my thoughts
